The union will just send in some more knee breakers and head crackers then push for another election.

Good!!
Unions served a much needed purpose at one time.
But power corrupts and they just wouldn’t let it go until they became the very thing they despised and claim to be fighting against.
Funny how people become the very thing they hate or detest.

As mentioned on the other thread, this will provide new motivation to make card check happen.

Then there is the job-killing NRLB. That holdover from the 30's is another dinosaur that needs to be abolished since it has outlived its usefulness as well.

Down south, folks believe in the 2nd Amendment. If some Northern Guido Union thugs try to break legs down here, they’ll wind up “disappeared” into some holler alongside 1930’s Revenue Agents.

What about the "right to privacy" used by leftists to justify abortion?
Don't workers have that same "right to privacy"?

NRLB will come in and claim it was illegal and a do-over is required.

I think also that many employees have come to realize that today's unions are so corrupt and lawless that they are actually a far worse deal than what businesses offer.
My father-in-law was required to join a union to keep his job at a chemical plant in Baton Rouge (this was before Louisiana became a "right-to-work" state). At one time the Teamsters tried to replace the existing union, and he fought tooth and nail to prevent the change, because he had seen first hand how corrupt unions really are and the Teamsters were far worse than his current union.

Didn’t unions drive the South’s textile industry out of the country?

Didnt unions drive the Souths textile industry out of the country? Yeah, or ask all the steelworkers in Pittsburgh how great the unions are...oh, wait...that's right. There are no more steel jobs in Pittsburgh.

The loss, 712 to 626 ...
That's not good news that the vote was so close.
Won't be long before many of those who voted against the UAW will be "converted" and a new vote called for.

Obama said that the only people against the UAW drive at the VW plant were business interests, who were more concerned about shareholders than the workers.
But here we see that the workers, in a free and fair election, decided against joining the UAW.
SO, by Obama’s logic, are the workers more concerned with shareholder profits than their own well being? What am I missing here?

...even President Barack Obama waded into the discussion early on Friday, accusing Republican politicians of being more concerned about German shareholders than U.S. workers. Same old class warfare argument. Hey! Bozo! This vote means more jobs here in the US, not in Mexico. How about dropping the political posturing and look at the facts. You and Karl Marx are not welcomed in TN.

The Vote was too close IMHO. They will be back and they will keep pounding until they win by one Vote, count in it.
I guess this means that the Union won’t be able to buy another Private Jet to fly around the next Corrupt Democrat Secretary of (Union) Labor.
