Obama said the only people opposing the UAW organizing effort were those who cared more about corporate profits than the workers.
Yet we see that the workers, in a free and fair election, voted down the union.
So, per Obama logic, do the workers care more about corporate profits than their own job benefits????
...negotiate a raise or promotion for yourself, forgetaboutit!!
Unionist are simply part of the collective Borg!
The tears of the UAW are sweeter than honey.
The unions will survive via stimulus and slush money. There is a strong connection to the O Care pipeline.
I’ve never understood why the Dems didn’t force through “card check” in place of secret elections when they had control of both branches of Congress in Obama’s first term.
Under card check, this plant would now be union.
Crippling defeat? Not according to the news media. It was a real squeaker, only a few votes. Missed a Worker’s Paradise by thaaat much!
RE: “UAW Union Suffers Crippling Defeat in Tennessee”
53%-47% is a “crippling” defeat?
The UAW wont survive this decade if they dont adapt. They need to be more open to people who oppose gun control, oppose amnesty for illegals and oppose abortion.
This is Chattanooga we are talking about. It is more left than Knoxville or Smyrna, but not by much.
VW will compare its record against the UAW any day. This was proven.
The UAW has no say in how to govern a motor company. Greed rots from within.
No, it wasn’t a crippling defeat. The UAW crippled themselves by years of corruption and all other sorts of illegal activities. Some people are getting the message that unions are not for the workers, they are for the union bosses.
If you own a business and the shop unionizes, move it—offshore it if necessary. If those aren’t options, just shut ‘er down and let the site rot.
The union dues for government employees are going to go up.
HOORAY 712! There are enough parasitic hands in your pocket. Have you looked at your pay stub?
The BIGGEST hands before your money gets to your pocket is BIG GOVERNMENT & BIG INSURANCE (socialization of risk). FICA-MED, U.S. FICA, FED INC TAX, STATE INC TAX, sometimes CITY INC TAX.
The BIGGEST hands in all of your pockets as your money leaves is BIG GOVERNMENT (just about everything you purchase with what remains of your paycheck is taxed to feed the BIG GOVERNMENT SOCIALIST LEVIATHAN).
You are being plundered by socialist parasites.
BIG GOVERNMENT IS CRONY SOCIALISM (unions are an integral part of BIG GOVERNMENT)
HOORAY 712!
Does the NLRB shut down that plant to punish the employees for this vote?
