"He also said he doesn't believe companies like Volkswagen should not be made to hire union employees"
Unbelievable what passes for "reporting" these days. OK, since double negatives cancel I interpret the above as.
"He also said he believes companies like Volkswagen should be made to hire union employees"
I do not like the sound of that, am I missing something?
That was poorly stated, or poorly quoted. I think that Carr does not believe in mandatory union membership, but believes that right is up to the individual. The UAW would love to create a closed-shop union at VW, though I don’t know how they can do that in a “right to work” state like Tennessee.
The UAW/VW discussion is going on right now in Chattanooga, which is why it entered the article.
I’ve already donated modestly to Carr’s campaign.
