Good for them! They voted for jobs, instead of unions.

Of course, guess which side was Obama on?

The workers, despite intense pressure, wisely voted to keep their jobs. Unfortunately, the closeness of the vote means that the UAW will be back.

Very good. I was afraid that they would fall for the usual unsustainable union promises. But I guess the lesson of Detroit has sunk in.

They will ask for a revote as they know the results were wrong. The union never loses. Where are the dead voters?

Unions and its twin, the minimum wave, are two faces of unadulterated evil. When both are abolished, America's prosperity will be unprecedented. Go Ted go! Go Sarah go! Go Jim go! Take America back! Put the union thugs in orange prison jumpsuits. Rebellion is brewing.

The margin of victory was less than 100 votes, or about seven percent.

The left usually demands to be awarded a victory by court order if they lose by an margin this small. Failing that, they’ll demand another election at the earliest opportunity.

Of course, if they win by even a single vote they treat it as a landslide victory. At that point, they declare that any further elections are “an attempt to turn back the clock.”

Wow. I was kind of worried about this vote. Thank goodness. I love the VW is in TN as is Nissan, and Toyota, Mercedes, Honda, Kia and Hyundai in AL with BMW in SC and maybe other locations and a new Air Bus coming to Mobile AL . . .

The Dem’s and the Lib’s hate that the red states are expanding and welcoming business . .. even if some of the profits go back to Japan or wherever Germany . . . the jobs are here, the economic benefit is HERE & NOW.

The Dem’s and Lib’s from the elite blue states would still prefer the southerners in the red states to be picking cotton by hand and plucking chickens by hand and picking tobacco which they continue to outlaw and ban.

We have a long way to go but Texas and other states are leading the way in creating new manufacturing and production.

A sigh of relief. Whew, glad the 700+ workers that voted DOWN the UAW had the good sense God gave ‘em.

VW was neutral. This is their only non-union plant.

If they had opposed the union, it probably would have lost by much more.

VW workers made a good choice. If there is another vote, I hope there is a larger NO union vote, sending the message to union elites loud and clear - stay out of my paycheck!

I assumed that since a vote was being held at all that it was a foregone conclusion that they would vote for unionization.

I’m very happy to be wrong.

Waiting for the NLRB and/or Obama to issue ‘orders’ to Unionize the plant or punish VW itself.

The IRS I am sure is ready to do it’s master’s bidding.

This is what we in Hollywood were talking about. Move Warner to SC, and the Teamsters hold on Hollywood will vanish.

I look for Holder to find that those voting against the union were wearing the wrong colored socks and to require a new vote within a month......

So how long will the UAW take to petition the NLRB to order VW to recognize the UAW as representing the VW workers despite this election, or (alternatively) order a new election?

Thank goodness the Orwellian-named Employee Free Choice Act never became law.

Good for them. The UAW needs to go away. The last thing workers need is someone else with their hand in their pocket

There are 626 employees who aren’t bright enough to know where their best interests are.
