Obama is only concerned about those union dues going straight to DemoRAT campaign coffers.

Dear Reader once again sticks his nose where it is not welcome. Isn’t there a golf course open somewhere?

accusing Republican politicians who oppose unionization of being more concerned about German shareholders than U.S. workers.

That is so disingenuous, as VW management has been strangely silent and Wall Street suggests management is heeding the orders sent by the VW directors, where union personnel have directorships.

They are just going to build the next auto plant in Mexico anyways.

Good God-why can’t he just mind his own business and STFU? He’s making sure the plant gets moved to Mexico at the first opportunity, along with the jobs...

German Shareholders are probably more concerned about American workers than Lamar Alexander or Obama.

No German shareholders, no plant. Period.

The hilarity of suggesting that Germans are ever neutral about anything doesn’t know Germans very well.

However, that being said, Germans do try very hard to be inscrutable about what they actually *do* want. They very carefully calculate all eventualities, which is why is it typically very hard to fight Germans in the defense.

Anyone have a guess how this will come out... I'm almost afraid to watch the results tonight, but hopeful at the same time that there are enough to send the growing message to UAW and Obama!

I thought he was gonna march with the unions, like he did in Wisconsin. Oh wait, he was AWOL when Walker was kicking the union’s collective asses.

several of those 1500 workers live in my town...

they didn’t say they were planning to join a union when they started to work at VW ...

they did say their wages would be very good...

I know they started at more than minimum wage...

If the workers vote for the UAW and VW leaves this will be like the second or third time VW has tried to make it in the US.. and failed. We probably will not get anymore chances.

I haven't even considered buying a car made with UAW labor since 1990 and I'll maintain that policy until their leadership is no longer Marxist-Leninist.If VW goes union I'll scratch that make off my “potentials” list.

Obama, did you know that German unions owes Volkswagen? The UAW are the destroyers of Auto jobs.

Since the wannabe dictator Obama has stuck his nose into a business vs. union dispute, the TN VW workers should be even MORE motivated to vote NO to the UAW. Hope that’s the result!
