News Channel 5 obtained a confidential report called Project Trinity. In it Haslam gives away millions of taxpayer dollars, if VW does not go with UAW:

Marked confidential, it offers Volkswagen incentives of some $300 million -- in exchange for 1,350 full-time jobs at a new SUV facility.

The catch?

"The incentives … are subject to works council discussions between the State of Tennessee and VW being concluded to the satisfaction of the State of Tennessee."

In fact, during an interview with Fox News in February, U.S. Senator Bob Corker had also hinted that he knew those incentives had become a subject of concern for the Haslam administration. "I know you know the state has concerns about any kind of incentives in the event the company -- and I'm not part of that. That's a separate government, as you know. But they have concerns about the UAW," Corker said. NewsChannel 5 Investigates recently asked Corker, "Did you know that the Haslam administration had taken incentives off the table while the vote was pending?" "I was aware," the senator replied, "that there were some concerns about incentives being on the table while the vote was taking place."

"I think since this document is public, and I appreciate you bringing it forward, that it's obvious that the state was threatening or at least intimidating Volkswagen [that], to get the incentives, they had to change their business model," he said. NewsChannel 5 Investigates asked Casteel, "Is this incentive document a game changer?" "To me," he answered, "it puts pressure on the state to do what they should have done in the first place -- and that's give the incentives with no strings attached, just like they would any other company, union or non-union."

"I can imagine fairly well that another VW factory in the United States, provided that one more should still be set up there, does not necessarily have to be assigned to the south again," said Bernd Osterloh, head of VW's works council.

"If co-determination isn't guaranteed in the first place, we as workers will hardly be able to vote in favor" of potentially building another plant in the U.S. south, Osterloh, who is also on VW's supervisory board, said.

Senator Bob Corker was aware of the incentives in the State and told News 5 earlier this year:Gary Casteel, UAW official, told the reporter:During the run-up to the election, Senator Corker said VW would expand with an SUV line if UAW were not in Chattanooga. This turned out to be false. State Senator Bo Watson told workers that if VW went with UAW, they would lose taxpayer incentives. All this scared workers into believing VW would shut down, if they went with UAW. What happened was the opposite: VW and UAW appealed the decision to NLRB, there is no SUV expansion in Chattanooga and Works Council leader, Berndt Osterloh, said they are probably not going to do any more expansion in the South.Story here
