There are 2000+ people working at the plant, 850 or so are union and THEY determined the fate of the company. If 426 voted yes, the plant moves. What a colossal joke. Now consider all the suppliers, restaurants, businesses, homes, families, etc in a town of about 50K people. Reports are at least 8000 workers will be affected. The surrounding areas are done. It’s finished. And the governor just smiles and says what a great job he’s done for the state. He’s a disaster. Wisconsin is the fed gov just smaller area. We are seeing here what zero is going to do to the country. Hold on, it’s going to be BAD.

I understand all that, and I realize that it'll be bad for a great number of people that are not in the union. Suppliers, restaurants, all sorts of folks. What I was questioning is the actual tally of the votes - given that the union counted the votes, I think that might raise some doubt as to the accuracy of the "overwhelmingness" of the outcome.

Sadly, we see this in democrat states and yet, people still vote for these idiots.

Production employees at the Conn plant in Elkhart, Indiana, voted to decertify their union earlier this month after the union kept telling them that they had voted to reject the company’s contract offer.

+++++++++++++

Which states are doing this in the worst way:
CA
MI
OR
WI
WA

Which other states are imploding like this? There are actually 47 states that are in the red. I’d like to see a reverse list by percentage of their deficit to their budget - that would be an interesting list.

I did see a list of highest UR, and surpisingly, there were a number of conservative states on there - telling you something about the interconnectivity of the economy.
