That is your opinion, in my opinion they wanted a "win" in the south so they can continue to pretend to be relevant in today's changing world.
The dues from one plant isn't going to make a whole lot of difference to their coffers, the planting of a union seed this deep in the south would be a huge thing culturally.
The symbolism here is the south is still the south.
I bet that fierce southern independence made many a VW worker unhappy with the outsiders like Norquist trying to influence them.
The backlash has yet to be felt, the vote was close enough to encourage a continued battle at least from the inside of VW.
