They use political pressure on employers to get what they want and they push members to vote for their candidates and to volunteer their time working on their campaigns. They use union dues which are extracted by force to finance their political candidates who they control.

Agreed. But VW is no longer under der fuhrer's control, and the individual workers can spend their money and their negotiating power as they see fit.

Tennesssee should have made its expectations clearer in the original offer. It's not like an issue like this could not have been foreseen.

“the individual workers can spend their money and their negotiating power as they see fit.”

True, but they are not entitled to handouts of taxpayer money. Taxpayer money should only be given out under very limited and special circumstances. It is better to lower taxes for everyone than to give special deals to a favored few.

If VW does not comply, then don’t give them taxpayer financed subsidies. Don’t use taxpayer money to subsidize the UAW.
