Union Suffers Big Loss at Tennessee VW Plant

“Organizing a Southern plant is so crucial to the union that UAW President Bob King told workers in a speech that the union has no long-term future without it. The loss means the union remains largely quarantined with the Detroit Three in the Midwest and Northeast.”

Now the Obama media group is spinning the UAW loss as all the Republicans fault. Bawwwwwwwwwwwh. LOL.

After UAW defeat, can GOP fulfill promise of jobs?

“Jonah” Obama loses another vote: Chattanooga VW workers don’t care what he wants

February 17, 2014 Coach Collins

by Kevin “Coach” Collins

You won’t hear much about this week’s defeat for the United Auto Workers. The thugs were trying to unionize Volkswagen’s Chattanooga plant workers. This was no ordinary defeat. It is best described as a death knell for the UAW’s efforts to unionize the South and forcibly use the increase in union dues to finance further destruction of America by their pals in the Democrat Party. That’s over now. There were a few important reasons for the kick in the teeth the union took, but one you certainly won’t hear mentioned is that “Jonah” Obama who brings defeat to Democrats wherever he goes had jumped into the fight to steal workers’ liberties and predictably his efforts produced nothing....

“What I find hysterical is the liberal moaning going on as they try to pin their loss on some boogeyman. They’ve said that outside “economic terrorists” influenced the vote or that some billboards urging workers to vote against the union somehow tipped the scales. I’m sure that the UAW didn’t have billboards of their own or other literature (or threats by pro-union goons). The reason why the UAW lost in Tennessee is that the workers know that the union doesn’t give a damn about them. Unions are about control and squeezing as much money as they possibly can, even if it forces the company to shut down. The workers at the Tennessee Volkswagen plant are making $19.50 an hour, which is four dollars more than union workers are making in Michigan!”

VW Workers Escape from Detroit
By The Editors

“The UAW spent millions of dollars trying to influence the Chattanooga vote. It has given away some $45 million of its members’ money in political donations, largely to Democrats, since 1990, and it has spent some $31 million on lobbyists since 1998. It spent $15.5 million on campaign donations in the 2012 cycle alone. For that kind of money, it could have become a major shareholder in one of the companies it seeks to influence — probably a better investment of its members’ dues.

The UAW is a moribund organization, having lost three-quarters of its members in recent decades, but the power and profit its bosses enjoy is a strong incentive to fight for every last penny, a project in which it can count upon the support of Barack Obama and other Democratic pooh-bahs who benefit from its financial support and manpower. The “transplant” automakers, which operate as a rule in right-to-work states, are an important economic success story, one of the major bastions of high-paying manufacturing jobs. The ladies and gentlemen in Tennessee are backing the right horse.”
