About 20 years ago, VW opened a brand new assembly plant in Pennsylvania. 100% UAW closed shop. It suffered 6 strikes in 7 years before VW closed it.
UAW dues are about $800/year. What were the workers going to get for that? They were supposedly told that it would go into a strike fund? There ya go... I'm sure that stats are available to give us the percentage of the 1,500 workers in Tenn that are African-American. I'm guessing about 30%. Thank God we have secret ballots..despite union attempts to end it...and we'll never know the answer..but I'd wager that 90%+ of black workers there voted FOR the UAW..
