"Detroit: Brought to you by the UAW" don't pass the laugh test. Laugh at this - for the last 30 years - ALL major new car manufacturing plants have been built in right-to-work states...

Gee, I found it substantially truthful and rather pithy.

This is an old story and dated news. The UAW lost in its attempts to unionize the plant. I do find it funny that Volkswagon seemed to encourage the unionization of its workforce.

Three day “election”. LOL! Getting 1500 people to vote can be tough. What a joke. All the union thugs have to do is call for another vote and then bust the kneecaps and fingers of less than 100 workers and they can pull out their raid on employees paychecks for their ‘RAT masters.

"What are they talking about? The union was voted down."
It was published before the vote. The writer is a typical leftist, always predicting doom and gloom for Conservatives. The actual result just shows how out of touch people like him really are.

Corker may have violated U.S. labor laws by attempting to intimidate workers into voting against the UAW.
Corker is a U. S. Senator, not a VW manager. Nothing he publicly says as a Senator could be construed as intimidation under the law. If it were ofherwise, lefty Senators could make threats to invaldate votes right and left for the fun of it.

VW wants to set up a "works council" at the plant like those at every VW plant except Chattanooga's and two in China and in order to do that under U.S. law, the Tennessee workers have to have a union. Why is it necessary to have a union in order to have a "workers council"?

Ubama didn't pack the NLRB with Alinskyites and break his promise to the GOPe by making Richard F. Griffin, Jr. its General Counsel just to let something like this stand.
This will be undone. VW will be a union shop.
Next stop... Walmart.
