This was one of the factors that influenced me to lease my first VW. A free worker class is something I can respect and put my $$$ towards.

Special thanks to the workers of VW!!!! (Nice car..BTW)

[Ingtar]

UAW gave up because the workers were in the process of proving collusion between VW and UAW.

[rktman]

such as afsc(u)me?

[Peet]

I think it’s pretty clear that some pretty embarrassing stuff was about to come out…

“Just ‘cause you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you.”

(I agree — they never would have given up unless something REALLY damaging was about to happen.)

[Blood of Tyrants]

The dispute could drag out for years in court and cost millions. But I remember reading that the UAW only has to wait 12 months before another vote. They are simply preserving their resources.

[Buckeye McFrog]

DNC told them to call off the dogs. Pursuing this now would to tremendous harm to their efforts to make electoral inroads in the South using people like Sam Nunn’s daughter.

Does not mean they won’t try again later.

i don’t believe they gave up. they retreated from the current battle

[Texas resident]

I agree. The uaw lost the battle, but they don’t give up.

Watch for “accidents” that will start to happen.

“Nice plant you got there. Hate to see something bad happen to it.”

It is beyond me how there can exist public sector unions extracting taxpayer dollars, makes me sick

[Popman]

actually, the real danger is not from the private sector unions but rather from the public sector unions.

Oh' so right...

Private sector unions have shown a real ability to remove themselves from the labor force though greed, stupidity, corruption just to name a few...More power to them..

Most private sectors unions understand if they want to live, they must compromise...Most do grudgingly...

Public sector unions are a scourge on our republican...

They are beholden to the politician, not the taxpayer...

Scott Walker showed the country how to deal with them...

[Popman]

I think it’s pretty clear that some pretty embarrassing stuff was about to come out…..which considering how shameless these thugs are, is astonishing.

I'm sure you are right...

I'm sure the Obama mis-administration can't handle another scandal...even a smidgen of one.. : )

Discovery can be a bitch, The UAW subpoenaed Senator Corker, I'm sure Mr. Corker was ready to subpoena a whole bunch of Obama minions..

[EDINVA]

They HAD the election; they lost. This was a hearing to get a re-vote.
