A key victory for the UAW is on the line.
Friday is the last day of a union-organizing vote at a Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga, Tenn. At stake is whether the German automaker's sole plant in the U.S. will be represented by the United Auto Workers. But it's also much more than that: The battle being waged in Chattanooga is being billed as a seminal moment that will either pave the way for more labor unions in the South, or affirm the continuation of a "right to work" region that is UAW-free.
Going into the three-day election, the vote was too close too call among the 1,550 workers.
"A vote for unionization at Volkswagen would be a historic victory — not only for the UAW, but for the entire labor movement," says John Logan at Reuters.

...VW appears to want the UAW to win, and Corker may have violated U.S. labor laws by attempting to intimidate workers into voting against the UAW. Certainly, his comments have drawn unflattering national attention to the push by Republicans and outside conservative groups to quash the unionization bid.
This is the strongest card that the anti-union side has. The billboards warning that unionization will turn Chattanooga into a postindustrial wasteland — example: "Detroit: Brought to you by the UAW" — don't pass the laugh test. But strongly suggesting that the UAW will kill your livelihood (the Chattanooga plant probably needs a second line of cars to make it) certainly gets workers' attention.
But it's not a very persuasive argument. VW wants to set up a "works council" at the plant — like those at every VW plant except Chattanooga's and two in China — and in order to do that under U.S. law, the Tennessee workers have to have a union.

"The Tennessee GOP's union-thwarting push has backfired"
Who needs journalism when you can engage in magical thinking?...
The website attempted to plug a virus into my machine. You need to delete the link.
When GOPe lapdog, The Cork! is in charge, its a guaranteed loss.
Laugh at this - for the last 30 years - ALL major new car manufacturing plants have been built in right-to-work states...
Now we know the UAW LOST!!!!
What are they talking about? The union was voted down.
712-626... it’s over!
Unions got their asses handed to ‘em, albeit by a relative slim margin.

This is an old story and dated news. The UAW lost in its attempts to unionize the plant. I do find it funny that Volkswagon seemed to encourage the unionization of its workforce.
Three day “election”. LOL! Getting 1500 people to vote can be tough. What a joke. All the union thugs have to do is call for another vote and then bust the kneecaps and fingers of less than 100 workers and they can pull out their raid on employees paychecks for their ‘RAT masters.
"What are they talking about? The union was voted down."
It was published before the vote. The writer is a typical leftist, always predicting doom and gloom for Conservatives. The actual result just shows how out of touch people like him really are.

chickens...hatch...that would be a backfire also wouldn’t it?
Why is it necessary to have a union in order to have a "workers council"?
Huh? Which virus? Nothing happened why I went there.
Norton blocked a virus that claimed I needed to go to a site to get my PC cleaned.
This will be undone. VW will be a union shop.
Next stop... Walmart.
