VW has that covered already

And this push to eviscerate the legal rights of VW employees is yet more proof that the management philosophy of the automobile manufacturer founded by Adolf Hitler hasn't evolved much since the fall of the Third Reich.

Many Americans don't know that in 1937, Hitler's government created the then-government-owned automobile manufacturer originally called Gesellschaft zur Vorbereitung des Deutschen Volkswagens mbH (German for "Society for the preparation of the German People's Car"). It was soon renamed Volkswagenwerk (German for "The People's Car Company").

At a 1938 National Socialist German Workers' Party rally, the Nazi dictator boasted, "It is for the broad masses that this car has been built. Its purpose is to answer their transportation needs, and it is intended to give them joy."

While the Hitlermobile may be a popular car that has brought joy to millions, in recent months it hasn't done the same for those who work assembling it in the Volunteer State.
