Great stuff as always, Roulette Man, you're amusing in ways you'll never understand.

Yet more insincerity from Chili. It really cracks me up at how disingenuous you are on many politial topics.

My comment is 100% sincere. And not politial (sp) at all lol.

Now please continue saying things for our amusement.

You are completely insincere and don't think that people don't see through you.

The wonderful and charming Sen. Bob Corker has resorted to lies, threats, and strong arm tactics to keep the the UAW out of the Chattanooga VW plant.

Whoever voted for this douchebag the 1st time.....I will give you a pass. You got duped. If you voted for this asshole twice, then you're getting what you deserve.

I feel bad for the folks in TN who did NOT vote for this nut job. They are getting royally screwed. Taxation without competent representation.

And here is another linky: https://www.tennessean.com/article/20140214/NEWS02/302140070/Corker-s-remarks-UAW-VW-plant-draw-fire-from-labor-experts.

And make sure you read the comments section after each article......that way you get to see how folks from TN really feel about their senator.

VW workers voted NO to joining the UAW union.

According to Reuters: It also is likely to reinforce the widely held notion that the UAW cannot make significant inroads in a region that historically has been steadfastly against organized labor and where all foreign-owned assembly plants employ nonunion workers.

The UAW went in before the vote and wrote a contract with VW conditional on a positive union vote without telling workers about the contract. It contained conditions that the workers would magically be bound to without voting on just by accepting union representation. The UAW tail was trying to wag both dogs - the company and the workers. Then again, that's what they do.

I thought that's how it works when you unionize. You elect representatives to hammer out the details in the labor contract. You can't vote on every little detail.

The final tally was 726 workers voting no while 612 voted yes, with 89 percent of the eligible workers casting ballots.
Ref: CNBC

See! All the unpleasantness on this thread was unnecessary. The employees have chosen.

DonDiego would not be surprised if Volkswagen [i.e. The Peoples' Car] establishes a workers' committee in-plant similar to what they've done elsewhere around the world.

I believe there is some rule or law preventing them from doing that unless they are working with a union.

That may be true. DonDiego hasn't read the text of the pertinent Law.
Volkswagen had supposed that instituting such a co-operative committee without having a Union vote might have violated US Labor Law. Now that the vote has occurred, it may be possible to do so legally.

n.b. Just to be clear: "DonDiego hasn't read the text of the pertinent Law."
