UAW Challenges Tennessee VW Election
Thomson/Reuters ^ | 2/21/2014

Posted on 02/21/2014 1:23:56 PM PST by MacNaughton

The United Auto Workers said on Friday it filed an appeal with the government over "interference by politicians and outside special interest groups" in an election last week in Tennessee where Volkswagen workers rejected the union. The union said in a statement that its appeal to the U.S. National Labor Relations Board details "a coordinated and widely publicized coercive campaign conducted by politicians and outside organizations to deprive Volkswagen workers of their federally protected right to join a union."

“interference by politicians and outside special interest groups”

So is Obama considered an outside source. He did put his two cents worth into the election.

They checked the wrong boxes I tell you. It mustve been a tricky ballot. I wonder if they spelled the YES wrong???

Which is all the more reason to have secret ballot elections.

I thought you had politicians from both sides including Obama weighing in on this.

My take on this is that if the UAW gets it’s claws in VW you’ll see what happened to VW in Penn. It will be out of business within 10 years.

Look at the quality of cars at union and non union plants. Not even close.

” They only need to turn around a handful of votes.”

165 people eligible to vote last time didn’t vote. If they vote this time the union will lose by a bigger margin.

They would have voted the first time if they wanted the union.

The union goons are going to pull a lot of dirty tricks, threaten and intimidate people, and even resort to violence to get their way.

Pray for the people who are going to face an onslaught of union thuggery.

It'd be funny if the VW workers went on strike against the UAW.

Fire everyone who voted for the union and run at 50% until you can fill the positions.

Then get some pipe hitting brothers and go Mideival on the union thugs a$$e$.

You mean only one side gets to campaign in a union vote?
