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?
I’m sure as a European company, VW has incredibly generous wages, benefits, time off (6 weeks+...I bet), parental leave, etc.... pretty much matching what it does in Europe. No union shop could do better (or even match)—so with the company treating its employees so well, there’s zero motivation to pay out money to a union—since who needs protection?
I’ve known guys who work for European companies, and wow, do they get treated well!
