They rejected it five years ago too, with 712 voting against and 626 voting for, which is a wider margin than this vote and 271 fewer voters than now.

Don’t worry, they’ll keep voting until the workers realize what the correct vote is

UAW has tried and failed to unionize several of the “trans-plants” for years. Southerners don’t like labor unions - that is especially so with the UAW which drove the domestic auto manufacturers into the ground. Everybody can see what its turned Detroit into.

Of course the union scum will seek another vote and another, until the workers get it “right”.

Management needs to lay off the pro union workers, but I think that’s against federal labor laws. That needs to change.

excellent, Also just to note the UAW has also tried to get into the NISSAN plant in Smyrna, Tn over it existence since it was built a long time ago. I think they have had a half a dozen votes on it over about ?40 years since that plant was built.

Southerners dont like labor unions - that is especially so with the UAW which drove the domestic auto manufacturers into the ground. Everybody can see what its turned Detroit into. The bad thing is that there are so many good jobs here that non-Southerners are moving here for the jobs. Most are probably fine but some get hired that bring their pro-union attitudes (and other attitudes) with them. Local cities are constantly building housing and can't keep up with the influx. Some cities infrastructure can't keep up with the increased traffic. Our economies are growing by leaps and bounds. As long as our Southern values aren't compromised I'm all for the growth and hope all of these new citizens adjust to us and don't try to make us like what they left.

$800 million and the union thugs don’t get a penny; sounds like great news to me.

Very smart.VW’s best strategy is to pay line workers about the same as UAW workers,give them about the same benefits and remind them that compared to UAW members they get the same with no strikes and no union dues.
