Anyone think VW played Devil’s Advocate? Pretend to be open to unionization knowing that it will Epic Fail anyway?

Makes me proud to be a VW fan.

Maybe I’ll see if I can get a job down there sweeping the floor in the VW factory.

Obama has been kind of a disaster for unions. He came to Michigan to try to stop the RTW law from being passed as well.

How soon before the Department of Justice (Injustice) decides the vote was illegal?

One comment, one question:

Lest they forget: About 20 years ago, VW opened a brand new assembly plant in Pennsylvania. 100% UAW closed shop. IN the 7 years it was open, there were SIX strikes. VWS finally shut it down.

In the big 3, which are closed shops, the workers all pay union dues. As part of the contract, the big three pay into the UAW pension and health care funds..( which are in big trouble, but that's another story) If the UAW had won in Tenn, would those workers who chose to be represented by the union now have been covered by the union plans, instead of what VW is now providing?

lower-paid workers typically are required to pay in the same amount in union dues as those who receive much higher pay.

Wrong. The U.A.W. assesses union dues of two hours pay per month. So while all do have to pay the same two hours pay, the statement is untrue that they have to pay the same amount.

The word ‘union’ stirs up bitter feelings in the South especially in places like Chattanooga where so much fighting took place and where so many families lost so many forbearers.

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

You mean like Zero and his minions care more about the "rights" of illegals than the Rights of Citizens?

The article is suggesting that if Obama kept his mouth shut there was a possibility of the workers voting for a union.
Some things are priceless.

Looks like I failed yesterday.

I posted that Corker stuck his thumb in the eye of the UAW and his finger in the eye of Richard Trumka and the AFL CIO

I must now add that corker bitch slapped the tyrant from Chicago
