1. Sounds good, I hope they win.

This unionization drive coupled with action for increasing the minimum wage seems to be a two pronged strategy. I think the two actions occurring about the same time is great. Who brought this about? When do we find out about the vote?

Too late.

Election showed that when workers have a choice, they don't go the Detroit route.

That's nothing but complete bullshit, start to finish.....and they still got Walkered.   :rotf: :rotf:

Five of those links go to the same YouTube video produced by...wait for it....the UAW.

Yeah, we'll see what happens when Gov. Haslam pulls the rug out from under them.  He's no DUmmy.

I doubt the state legislature's actions influenced the UAW vote at all.  The people down here known who's buttering their bread and don't welcome any middlemen between them and their livelihood.  There are enough UAW plants around here (Peterbilt being the most obvious one).  Who needs contract disputes every five years and trying to live on strike wages while the union goons and the manufacturer try to iron out unreasonable demands made by left-wing unionistas who's only goal is to extort more money from their membership.

Dear lurking DUchebags, name one thing that a union has ever done to help the host organism stay in business.

Just one.
