Thus marks the end of the United Auto Workers’ foray into unionizing Southern auto manufacturing. Despite cooperative management at Volkswagen, the UAW failed to convince workers in its Chattanooga facility to unionize. The union alleged interference and demanded a hearing at the National Labor Relations Board to force a revote, but unexpectedly withdrew just before the hearing was scheduled to start:

Special thanks to the workers of VW!!!! (Nice car..BTW)
UAW gave up because the workers were in the process of proving collusion between VW and UAW.
such as afsc(u)me?
I think it’s pretty clear that some pretty embarrassing stuff was about to come out…
“Just ‘cause you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you.”
(I agree — they never would have given up unless something REALLY damaging was about to happen.)
The dispute could drag out for years in court and cost millions. But I remember reading that the UAW only has to wait 12 months before another vote. They are simply preserving their resources.
DNC told them to call off the dogs. Pursuing this now would to tremendous harm to their efforts to make electoral inroads in the South using people like Sam Nunn’s daughter.
Does not mean they won’t try again later.
i don’t believe they gave up. they retreated from the current battle
I agree. The uaw lost the battle, but they don’t give up.
Watch for “accidents” that will start to happen.
“Nice plant you got there. Hate to see something bad happen to it.”
It is beyond me how there can exist public sector unions extracting taxpayer dollars, makes me sick
Oh' so right...
Private sector unions have shown a real ability to remove themselves from the labor force though greed, stupidity, corruption just to name a few...More power to them..
Most private sectors unions understand if they want to live, they must compromise...Most do grudgingly...
Public sector unions are a scourge on our republican...
They are beholden to the politician, not the taxpayer...
Scott Walker showed the country how to deal with them...
I'm sure you are right...
I'm sure the Obama mis-administration can't handle another scandal...even a smidgen of one.. : )
Discovery can be a bitch, The UAW subpoenaed Senator Corker, I'm sure Mr. Corker was ready to subpoena a whole bunch of Obama minions..
They HAD the election; they lost. This was a hearing to get a re-vote.
