With the way the LRB is stacked now under this administration there will be voter fraud and we will olose the jobs to Mexico. When is America going to see what obama has cost us?

This is all true. But I don’t think any of the other plants in the south want the UAW running them.

Pro or Con Unionization, politicians need to keep their mouths SHUT when a certification election is imminent (impossible I know....!!!)

[Gay State Conservative]

I haven't even considered buying a car made with UAW labor since 1990 and I'll maintain that policy until their leadership is no longer Marxist-Leninist.If VW goes union I'll scratch that make off my “potentials” list.

Thank you both, now I understand what I was hearing today but because of multitasking, not fully focused. I was lost and now I am found on this, now it all makes sense. Appreciate it!

[Slump Tester]

What an asshole! How about the AMERICAN stockholders - should we shaft them too?

[ExCTCitizen]

Obama, did you know that German unions owes Volkswagen? The UAW are the destroyers of Auto jobs.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) would be in their right, and legally required to do so, to declare this vote invalid based on Obama's actions.

That's why he packed the board and made Richard F. Griffin General Counsel.

Since the wannabe dictator Obama has stuck his nose into a business vs. union dispute, the TN VW workers should be even MORE motivated to vote NO to the UAW. Hope that’s the result!

I saw an encouraging interview where a worker was asking “why would I want to join an organization that promotes gun grabbing and abortion?”

UAW voted down according to Chattanooga newspaper at 10pm.

Not just that but I believe he is 100% spiteful against the Chattanooga area and the vw plant. Obama came here to town within the past yr and did a stupid speech at amazon about manufacturing jobs. Not only is amazon NOT a manufacture but they wouldn’t be around if it weren’t for VW and yrs of planning by republicans doing everything they can to revitalize the area. People lined the streets for miles waving banners that he was NOT welcome here. (never show that on natl. news) Obama probably wanted to do his speech at vw and VW told him to stfu. He’s pissed off a LOT of Germans with his spying crap and they haven’t forgotten that. They were big supporters until he spit in their faces. Obama has always used politics as a method to make money or extract revenge, this is no different. Just look at how much $ he can make or who he can snub or both, there lies the answer.

I saw that the workers actually told the union to shove it-good-I pray it is just the beginning...

[ExCTCitizen]

They rejected the unions. :-)
