Day is not over yet. Let us see if Corker had any basis for his promise.

Seeing as how the UAW has appealed the election, why would they be in any hurry to announce anything?

VW isn’t so thrilled about losing the vote anyways.

Won’t happen.

Back in Germany, their unions have seats on the board, by law. They don’t like this development and are fighting any potential Chattanooga expansion.

VW does not need the union headache at all its other plants.

Its always a bad idea to promise what someone else will do.

The reasons why many unions sprung into existence, was because the workers could not trust management to do the right thing. It literally boils down to the statement “I despise management so much, that I am willing to PAY someone I do not personally know, to talk to management and FORCE them to do what was originally promised”.

So, when someone PROMISES the workers something; and fails to deliver, people are going to get angry. Integrity is like virginity - once lost, it’s gone forever.

The Tennessee plant was reportedly going to be producing the new VW Bus. If they’d get off their asses and get that ball rolling, they’d be raking it in. Sure, it’d be mostly Yuppie money, but that would be about $40,000 a pop NOT going to Democrat coffers. Well..... IF they can keep the UAW out that is.

dumBO has been lying for five years and the AP gives Corker not two weeks.

VW wanted the union in. They wanted to implement their German plant organizational plan which would be illegal in the U.S. without a labor union. I don't see why they'd expand right away based on their losing the vote.
