Taking bets that the UAW DID “visit” homes of voters.
Everyone has cell phone cameras, security monitors, and other audio/video equipment in their homes. Intimidating home visits could wind up on YouTube and backfire in a BIG way.
Thought you might like a ping.
NO WAY! That would be 1) lying, 2) Breach of Contract, 3) illegal, 4) unscrupulous, 5) unethical....
The UAW is above that kind of behavior. They would never stoop to the level of Federal Government tactics.
I don’t know what is going on with the labor board lately. They called off the OSHA dogs that had been going after small family farms.

Also, The UAW stole my retirement money.
great point!
VW is totally onboard with the UAW coming in, so I assume they’ve come to some understandings ahead of time.
I had a relative who very cushy job in a warehouse that was run by the Teamsters. The head of the local had him switched to graveyard to put his nephew in his spot. It was clearly against union bylaws since he had seniority, so he file a grievance. Next day a couple “big meats” from the union dropped by his house to “suggest” he drop it. He ended up leaving the job and moving, though he did get decent settlement from the union that he used to become an independent trucker.
“The UAW agreed not to visit employees at their homes without being invited.”
BS article because the union requires all the employee information before the vote.
They will be contacting those employees!
You were probably being stingy and selfish with your retirement plans. How can the UAW continue to serve it's constituents if it can aggressively influence government officials and their contituents?
(Caustic Sarcasm! sorry for your loss)
You wouldn't wanna get a visit from Bobby Bacala now, wouldja?
From what I understand is the Tax Help was on condition of No Union. They go Union and they loose the tax benefits. That was the deal.
Teamster’s got mine.

My brother who lives in NY got a visit from Union representatives at his home. They were not invited but had his address. There were three of them, all big tough guys. They talked about the vote coming up and said they expected his support. They made his family very uncomfortable.
When asked to leave, they just sat there and didn’t move. They kept talking about how his family depended on him and how he needed to do the right thing.
When they came around a second time he did not answer the door. They kept ringing the bell and banging on the door but eventually left.
He did not vote for them, he voted against them.
The UAW isn’t nearly as powerful as they used to be, and they hold sway over a rapidly aging and fast diminishing workforce. The average UAW member is over fifty, and well past eligibility to retire. The people replacing them get nowhere near the wage or benefits, due to the “two-tier” wage system now in place. Add to that the fact that most of the foreign automakers operating in the south employ their workers through temp agencies and staffing firms, along with most of the supplier chain operating offshore, and the concept of the autoworkers unions are all but dead. If you wanted your cars to be built with minimum wage labor, you’ll get your wish soon enough, but your car won’t be any cheaper, because those savings don’t get passed down to you.
IAM swallowed muine up...
