WASHINGTON, Feb 17 (Reuters) - A conservative group that helped defeat an organizing campaign by the United Auto Workers in Tennessee will take its anti-union fight to other auto plants in the South, its leaders said on Monday.
The Center for Worker Freedom, which is linked to anti-tax advocate Grover Norquist, plans to renew its battle against the UAW at plants in Alabama and Mississippi where the union wants to organize.
"Those are likely the next big ones for the UAW," said Matt Patterson, executive director of the center. "We'll be there."
