Yep, I had gathered excatly that from what I had read the other day, and sure enough there was this story this morning. So VW does not like it when the plant workers bites the hand that feeds them? VW needs to get over it, or something like that. :p

It's interesting that Corker warned that unionization would cost jobs and it may turn out that the lack of unionization might be the job killer. Of course in the eyes of Corker, his using the threat of unemployment to sway the vote is just fine. I'm sure he will call the German unions warning "thuggery" or some such thing. Perspective being what it is and all.

Now lets see how this is spun by the Right. Labor Unions in Germany trying to sway an election in the US.

Here I thought a new VW would be in my future. Not now! Only buy union made US cars.

So the workers' will is meaningless?

Pete

Having a quantity not quality day today Pete? :p


So you think Corker is doing what is best for his constituents or is he doing what the Koch Bros. are paying him to do?


Carl

I'm simply saying the workers voted. And once again, if it's such an issue for VW, why did they locate there to begin with? The UAW would've almost certainly won in Detroit.

Pete

If a vote is based on deception and intimidation, is it a true reflection of the workers' will?

Even assuming that there were no corrupting factors in this election, isn't it legitimate for the workers who have a stake in the company to conclude that they would prefer to locate plants where people have a greater idea of the value of labor - and of labor's input into the running of the company.

Maybe you should actually read the article.


Carl

I did.

Deception, intimidation, sounds like a good old fashioned Union vote :o Seriously was someone standing in the booth with them?
