The UAW is just upset that somebody out intimidated them.

I decided to go online and search for reasons that the workers themselves gave as to why they voted against it. Per the Wall Street Journal:

Somehow I picture you as a college age kid with little to no experience in the real world. Allow me to educate you, Hostess failed because the union was taking a larger cut of the pie than any of their other debtors. The big three automakers SPECIFICALLY, when they went to congress, asked to have the collective…

The workers were getting lobbied form both sides, you are being willfully ignorant about the pro union lobby they were also being subjected to. You take the stance that the workers were not intelligent enough to make their own decision, I argue that they were.

You keep talking of workers rights but you are upset that they exercised their right and voted against the unions?

So do you have an issue with Union bosses living a lavish lifestyle or are you only going to repeat the "corporate bosses are evil" mantra?

Spoken like a true union person. See, I have worked jobs where it was closed shop. Join the union or don't work. My first job when I was 16 was a bag bog at a local supermarket. They made me join the Amalgamated meat cutters and butchers association as did all bagboys and cashiers. I made $1.50 an hour [this was…

the one group you don't mention in this post is the workers, the only ones who's decision really matters. do you really think so little of the workers that you don't think they would have considered the totality of the evidence before voting?

I'm sure the workers voted in their self interest and saw through whatever nonsense was involved. I haven't followed the issue, but if I was a legislative official in Tennessee I would lobby against it too - a UAW presence would make it very hard to lure new companies who would invest in new plants and jobs. And let's…

Sooooo you are saying that the fact that the median income of Chattanooga being slightly over 25k a year and the starting salary of the plant as it is run now is 30k(plus bennies and all the goodies) had NOTHING to do with the vote? If I worked at a place that paid me a living wage(keep in mind a person can get a…

It's not OK if right wing politicians influence the outcome of a union vote, but if a left wing union influences the outcome of a union vote it's totally OK because you agree with the UAW. Am I getting it right?

Felix Wankel....only because Rotary sounds cool and I dont give a damn about no apex seals.

But your very point highlights the very issue with right to work. Workers like it because the Union still has to protect you and you don't have to pay dues, it's like getting health care for free in a private Health system. Conservatives like it because it weakens unions as they don't get as many dues because most…

well i was looking forward to the unveiling of the new Subaru Legacy... that was until the pics leaked the other day (wrx instant replay anyone?)

Weight distribution, for a couple of reasons.

This car should exclusively be sold in WR Blue.

NO! If you dig up the dirt you'll disturb the habitat of the endangered Mexican Staring Frog of Southern Sri Lanka!!! Humanity needs another solution other than trees and conservation!!!

Hmmm...so cold areas getting warmer. Warm areas pretty stable. And the geologic records appear to show that this has all happened before. Dammit....PANIC!!!!!

The climate....changes?? On Earth??
