How long ago did you go to college? Things have tipped altogether in the other direction, and it isn't because people are rejecting unions it is because there have been so many anti-union laws passed in the last couple of decades by conservatives and some Democrats. Some bright folks are finally starting to figure out low wages aren't a good thing because eventually there aren't enough people left that can afford to buy goods and services and keep the economy going. Tutontow brought up Sam's Club vs COSTCO. I note Sam's Club just announced it was laying off 2% of its workforce.
Tennessee officials object because they are conservatives and supporters of the laws that keep wages artificially low. The mere thought of workers being able to afford a middle class life style makes their buttholes pucker.

When I was going to college I had a part time at Disneyland. We had no choice but to join the Teamsters. When the union contract came up for renewal, we met at the union hall. Every union official came to the meeting in a limo. You talk about chutzpah.
I agree there was abuse by big companies before unions, but the pendulum has swung completely the other way. If unionizing is to be so great, why would officials from Tennessee object?
As was stated in the story I posted a link to, ...s Reuters reports, in the past three decades nearly every job lost at US car factories have vanished from unionized companies; meanwhile, job gains have come almost exclusively from non-union companies.
Why do you want to hurt the economy and take away jobs?
