How UAW, Volkswagen vote could give unions 'leverage'
The United Auto Workers (UAW) is seeking to expand its unionization efforts beyond the Detroit Big 3 automakers (STLA, GM, F). Workers at Volkswagen's (VOW.DE) plant in Tennessee are voting on unionization, a pivotal moment for the labor organization. Cornell University's Director of Labor Relations, Arthur Wheaton, provides insights into the significance of this development. Wheaton notes that the Volkswagen vote is crucial because if the UAW can increase the number of unionized autoworkers in the United States, "it gives them more leverage at the bargaining table." When asked about the potential impact of the Volkswagen vote on the spread of unionization to other automakers, Wheaton acknowledges that "the reality is it's going to take a lot more work" — cautioning against the expectation that "all of the other plants will immediately get majority people to say yes we want the Union."

Chinese automaker FAW's auto finance unit launches loan with no down payment
The auto finance arm of China's state-owned automaker FAW Group has launched a loan programme with no down payment, becoming one of the first providers to make such a move since the removal of government-set minimum payments. The move is intended to "maximally relieve customers' car purchase pressure", FAW said in a statement on Wednesday. FAW Auto Finance is one of 25 auto finance firms operating in the world's largest auto market, where slowing demand and a price war have vexed both authorities and carmakers.
