ive heard the companies arent expanding because they scared of the unions. These days they are too powerfulExactly, The major force for employment in the area are from supporting companies to the automotive manufacturing industry, the work trickles down. With VW being by far and away the biggest source of income for these supporting companies. Without it many companies would have to close or downscale massively.
Which is why there is such a strong lobby effort to try and get more companies that sell cars here to produce at least some parts of the cars here, also why imported cars have higher taxes, to incentivize and protect local manufacturing.
