"The Tennessee GOP's union-thwarting push has backfired"

Who needs journalism when you can engage in magical thinking?...

The website attempted to plug a virus into my machine. You need to delete the link.

When GOPe lapdog, The Cork! is in charge, its a guaranteed loss.

"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...

[DManA]

A key victory for the UAW is on the line.

Now we know the UAW LOST!!!!

[Dr. Sivana]

example: "Detroit: Brought to you by the UAW" — don't pass the laugh test

Gee, I found it substantially truthful and rather pithy.

[Blood of Tyrants]

What are they talking about? The union was voted down.

[Carriage Hill]

712-626... it’s over!

Unions got their asses handed to ‘em, albeit by a relative slim margin.

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.

[FlingWingFlyer]

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.

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.

chickens...hatch...that would be a backfire also wouldn’t it?

[okie01]

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"?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

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.

[Gay State Conservative]

The billboards warning that unionization will turn Chattanooga into a postindustrial wasteland — example: "Detroit: Brought to you by the UAW" — don't pass the laugh test.

That's correct.Those with any familiarity with what an outstanding city it was in the 50's (and even 60's) *and* understands what Detroit has become today doesn't laugh.

They weep.

[LibLieSlayer]

The Unions lost... sorry... no spinning this... unions got voted down.

[kenmcg]

This was a great win for the right to work and a big defeat for Obama and his pro union commie thug buddies. VW was probably smart with their so called neutral stand.

[Fido969]

"A vote for unionization at Volkswagen would be a historic victory — not only for the UAW, but for the entire labor movement," says John Logan at Reuters.

lol. So what would a loss be? "Yesterday's news" according o the lefties.
