IMO, unions have long ago outlived their usefulness……..

[FlingWingFlyer]

Jobs and money are hard to come by these days. Don’t let the DemocRAT union thugs raid your paycheck! Just say no!

[dead]

You can’t hire good leg breakers anymore.

“While we certainly would have liked a victory for workers here”

If the workers didn’t want to be in a union, for them to have defeated the unionization effort was a victory for them.

What, no recount?!

This is a pet lib/Dem issue, surely they’ll find a passel of votes somewhere! Just enough to get over the hump...

“If they can’t win this one, what can they win?” asked Art Schwartz, a former General Motors labor negotiator who now is a consultant in Ann Arbor, Mich.

You were the GM labor negotiator and you fail to recognize what happened there and what brought GM to bankruptcy? You're more stupid than you think the workers at the VW plant are!

[OKSooner]

Interesting to note that this is happening in Tennessee, where the Saturn plant used to be. (Hey - does the VW plant happen to be the old Saturn plant, put to good use?) Saturn had a good thing going until two things screwed it up: Infighting GM management, and union meddling. Eventually Saturn became just another cheap Chevrolet with plastic body panels, and an SUV model with a continuously-variable transmission almost guaranteed to fail.

86 vote difference...wanna bet how many women and minorities went for the union? The Union will be back to try again for the vote against the union was less than 100 people out of 1338 voting.

[Vision]

If the Democrats were involved they'd cry racism, disinfancishiment and force an illegal recount where an extra 100 votes would be found somewhere.

The media would make it an international issue and declare TN backwards, redneck, and corrupt.

[Vision]

God please provide safety for those workers who voted against the union monsters.

"King, however, stuck to statements he made
earlier that the union would seek a vote and
respect any decision made by workers."LIARS! ..VW wanted a European-style union, not a American Unionists (Detroit thug) organization.
You can bet; the so-called NLRB, shall dispute this election and "demand" another election.
of course; w/ very-heavy handed encouragement from pro-unionist thugs brought in from out-of-state to vote for the union.

“for workers to exercise their basic human right to form a union”

So now forming a union is a basic human right?

It seems hard to believe the union didn’t demand, in the finest democrat party tradition, a recount, the first step to stealing the election.

[Cementjungle]

It was “unexpected”. Everyone take a drink.
