Re: Tennessee Volkswagen plant votes against union in UAW defeat
It sounds as though you oppose competition. That's where the rents went, they were competed away.
What is "neoliberalism"?
Neoliberalism has contributed to the race to the bottom. I never stated the Walmart model has harmed unions because it has turned our system into the race to the bottom. It's time for a paradigm shift so we don't have to continue this race to the bottom. The German model was a great example of a new model (for US) that is well worth trying here. Even as your article states (and I agree)
The UAW saw the Chattanooga vote as a chance to emphasize a more collaborative and less confrontational model, embracing the mantra that companies survive only by staying competitive. "With every company that we work with," said UAW President Bob King, "we're concerned about competitiveness." By finding efficiencies, the idea is to "have higher wages and benefits" paid from the fruits of cooperation."
