Tennessee Volkswagen plant votes against union in UAW defeat[W:600]

Marxism's socialist unions defeated. Yeah!

No, I think it is a true statement that the Dem party has favored labor legislation. That does not always apply nor need to apply exclusively to any one party. I would like to see the Repub party get more on board. Perhaps, it would be nice to have more than two parties representing people's views.
All that is missing is the hammer and sickle. Eh comrade?
 
Re: The Socialist have stacked the deck against thos who love liberty and freedom.

In your opinion where do most union donated dollars end up?

Here is one opinion from a website:
Public employee unions represent workers at every level of government, federal, state and local. Since contract negotiations for these workers are dependent not on private corporations, but on the size of government budgets, this is the one segment of the labor movement that can actually contribute directly to the people with ultimate responsibility for its livelihood. While their giving pattern matches that of other unions (which overwhelmingly support Democrats), public sector unions also concentrate contributions on members of Congress from both parties who sit on committees that deal with federal budgets and agencies.​

Abd this was interesting:
he limited nature of the disclosure grew out of a 1948 Supreme Court decision that, in the particular matter then before the court, spared unions and companies from disclosing the costs of political communications with their members or employees.​

Who knew the deck was stacked against Republicans?

Well, whose fault is that? If our system wasn't so polarized where Republicans refuse to offer support toward labor, maybe it wouldn't need to be that way.
 
Unions. Eh' anyone got any Garlic?

Sure, a strong voice in both domestic labor policy and international. All I care about is a fair election which this was not with all the money being spent by the Republicans and lies to influence votes but apparently, this is the new normal. Personally, I wouldn't even bother with a second vote. I think the company should still seek the labor voice they desire on an international level with the German Council in a more friendly place in the US. If for nothing else, to try a new much needed model for labor here. TN will have many other type business that will seek their needs. JMHO
If you want to run a business, then put your money at risk. If you don't put your money at risk why should you have any say in what a business does? Unions are not there to help a business prosper. You are a bit more like Bram Stoker's Dracula. Unions suck the life blood out of its victims.

Fortunately I have no strong opinions. Every single encounter I have ever had with any union was a negative experience. Lazy, screwed up, good for nothing, sons of bitches who did as little as possible...
No thanks. I would rather cut off my fingers one at a time than to ever be a part of a union or a company terrorized by a union.
 
Re: Tennessee Volkswagen plant votes against union in UAW defeat

Public leaders with a lot of influence and money got involved where they didn't belong. It was between the company and the employees.

Someone told the truth about unions and you could not scare enough employees?

LOL.

VW doesn't share your view. The German model works labor and corporate executives as a team.

It is un-American. It is European socialism. It is anti freedom. It is loathsome. Establishment Republicans, if they did not have such a high number of socialists, should stand against unions.

And the public sector unions are the worst.
 
Re: The Socialist have stacked the deck against thos who love liberty and freedom.

I am glad you think that VW is European socialism.
We in Illinois will be glad to take VW off Tennessee's hands.
We also have multiple Mitsubishi's who aren't going anywhere .

That basically is the extreme view many GOP politicians adopt which takes a pretty standard issue such as labor and makes it an us vs them issue. Then they are indignant when labor won't back them. So, their defense is to eliminate anyone addressing the issue of labor.

As you mention public unions as the worst, having enemies like you should work out pretty well for them .

As much an enemy of America you may be this round went to the Americans. I sense the end is near for the unions in VW-Europe. Nice try, my socialist-acquantance.

Let us hope that we can weaken their influence by voting in Republicans at the local level who will defeat them and their anti-American ways.

I know some would like the enemy into the tent.

I prefer to simply defeat you.
 
Re: Tennessee Volkswagen plant votes against union in UAW defeat

Or reasonable. Why should the state give its political enemies tax incentives? Unions, in general, are damaging to the places that let them in.

Public sector unions are the worst. But any union becomes a political instrument and a steady funding source for the enemies of liberty and individual freedom.
How are unions any different from any other political group? Don't they have a right as individuals to ban together with other like minded to pursue legislation that reflects their views? Isn't that democracy at its core?
 
Re: The Socialist have stacked the deck against thos who love liberty and freedom.

Labor or anyone that backs labor should not be viewed as the enemy. If the GOP doesn't want to have a vested interest in it, they shouldn't be blocking it from those who are willing to represent it.

Why should we have to be enemies all the time?
Is it more important to compete in Politics, or Win at politics?
Same with sports.
IMV, We all know a number of High school coaches in all of our states that ruin the sports in a number of ways for all involved .

Thank you for making my point. Unions are political groups masquerading as employees. Why not just admit that you are the money laundering and enforcement arm of the Democratic party? We know that unions are. And you know it as well.
 
Re: The Socialist have stacked the deck against thos who love liberty and freedom.

Which Americans are your enemies?
Marxists, Progressives, socialists, liberals. They, you, are the enemy within. They (you?) prove it nearly every day.

A clash is coming.
 
Re: The Socialist have stacked the deck against thos who love liberty and freedom.

Appreciate you including socialism in the overall make-up of the USA,
since Socialism has been part of the USA make-up for the entire Life of our Nation.
As much an enemy of America you may be this round went to the Americans. I sense the end is near for the unions in VW-Europe. Nice try, my socialist-acquantance.

You are directly saying that the workers who voted for the Unions are not Americans .

Playing a game is one thing. Destroying the finest nation that exists is another. I would prefer that you play sports.

True. There have always been enemies within our borders. As long as you are not in power you can be tolerated.

Yes. Those who vote for unions are un-American. They bring dangerous serpents into the house. The serpents must be killed. And the anti-Americans converted through utter defeat.

Apparently, they are "the enemy":screwy

If you are arguing for the favorable rules that unions have I agree.

But you really are not arguing for identical rules are you?
