Very interesting...The plot thickens.
To: Olog-hai
They will ask for a revote as they know the results were wrong. The union never loses. Where are the dead voters?

The unionistas were very confident that they were going to win this one, and Volkswagen was pretty low key in opposition.

Hey! Did anyone check their car trunks? That’s usually good for a few hundred votes in the “right” direction.

And the DUmmies are in meltdown.
I don't know that for a fact, just assuming, since I refuse to go to that cesspool.

Screw the UAW. They would just close the VW plant after the Union went into the plant.

But,but, I thought nobama said everyone wanted the union? May nobama’s toxic touch carry through the next election cycles.

But Obama came out in favor of the union, which immediately doomed it to failure...

Terry Bowman is great. He's a senior UAW member beating them up from the inside. They can't get rid of him even though he fought for Rick Walker in Wisconsin, for RTW in Michigan, has testified in DC against his union, and recently was warning VW workers against unionization.
Bowman and Owen: UAW not in best interest of workers

Shortly before the vote:
“Obama said everyone was in favor of the UAW representing Volkswagen except for local politicians who “are more concerned about German shareholders than American workers,”

And the vote came out against unionization despite the President weighing in - or because of it, not sure which.
I wonder how many people are going to say they were pressured by the union, or get punished by the union for voting no.

Outstanding, now stand by for union thuggery and more voting...........
To: Olog-hai
It is still disturbing to see they only won by 86 votes.
Can the union request another vote later on?

Maybe a Federal Judge will decide that the Union’s loss was unconstitutional.
