It's just a matter of time before they drop the "card check" bomb.

Just fore a bunch of signatures and declare the place unionized!

It's almost like they have a pen and a phone.

Typical liberal thinking. Damn whatever you think, we (the smarmy liberal elite) will do what WE want, and we are going to cram it down your throat.

Yet if a majority of the plant’s employees agree to join Local 42

Good luck with that...

I don’t have a problem with this. If the workers understand the need to make a product that will return a profit to investment, so be it.

The communists are on a roll. They aren’t going to let no stinking, freedom-loving Americans stop them! This is THEIR police state now!

Looks like they are taking a page out of the Democrats playbook and DEEMING that the members voted for it.

I think I see where this is going.

I’ll bet “informal” organizations aren’t subject to any of the (barely enforced) laws that would pretend to restrict a normal union. So anyone on the receiving end will have little recourse against them.

VW deserves everything the UAW throws at them. VW is a pro-union German corporation, It essentially did nothing to defeat the union in the election, and has demonstrated it is more than willing to have a union at this plant despite what its workers want.

IIRC VW is pro union, and sided with the union, but the employees of the VW plant DON’T WANT THE UNION.

The UAW is operating with the blessings of Volkswagen against the will of the majority of the employees.

That being the case let VW pay all the dues, and costs associated with bargaining with themselves.

In my experience as a business consultant, German companies like to work with unions. However, they are not pushovers like the US auto industry. They are extremely well organized in how they do business and expect the same from union members.
