Damn shame. That'll put some folks in a real sour mood. I reckon those Southerners aren't so stupid
after all.

Perhaps the union organizer said it best:

"Unfortunately, politically motivated third parties threatened the economic future of this facility
and the opportunity for workers to create a successful operating model that would grow jobs in
Tennessee," UAW Southern Region organizer Gary Casteel said."

Those damn politically motivated third parties. Of course, the UAW Southern Region is in no way
politically motivated.

Right, FOAD?

It appears that they rejected the idea of a union that was in bed with
the company they were working for. That is the way unions are in most
of those foreign country union people like to cite.

It's a young "workforce."
They make more money than the GM, Ford or Chrysler workers.
As long as they are well-treated by management, they're ok.
That's how all the foreign brands keep the union out.
It works, and will continue to work until workers are mistreated.


The ultimate goal of right-wing politicians in right to work states is
to break unions and the union movement so businesses can lower pay and
benefits to workers. It has nothing to do with the right to work.

Can't blame the politicians.
It was the workers who voted the union down.




Do you know what the politicians there were threatening, including a
U.S. Senator, if the workers voted to go union?

By all means, tell us. But, be sure to tell us what the unions were telling the workers also.
