I'd be pissed off, too, if the actual company employing the workers was fine with unionization but local right-wing politicians constantly threw out threats of loss of work to influence the election.

How was this election even legal? You had VW saying they were fine with it and instead state politicians threatening workers and straight up lying about VW not giving the factory a new production model. The hell kind of bullshit is this?

This and the GOP politicians' interference and threats are the only reasons I'm disappointed in the vote. The lies and threats from the political right during this were vile.

Republican scare tactics used to deny efforts. Worst part? Look at the billboards they put up:

What is affecting the unions is the same thing that is affecting our government. Lack of participation through voting. Unions are democratically elected. When you have complacency to who is in charge, even when you have the power through voting to remove them, poor representation and corruption are the result. Unions…

The problem is unions have a bad rap in the states (and the uk as well for that matter) In many parts of the world they are workers co-opratives which work to the benefit of both company and worker. Germany and VW are a great example of this, even though Germany is predominately right wing for many years now they…

In other words, you worked at places that didn't hesitate to violate labor laws and fire people for attempting to organize. If this isn't a reason for having a union I don't know what is. After all, who benefits from the union? Workers. Who does it cost? Companies who would rather underpay and exploit their…

Man, this crab bucket is so nice, why would anyone want to leave it. FUCK THAT GUY. EVERYONE GO FUCK THAT GUY.

What really turns me away from working out is the elitist attitude most gym rats and bros have. They act like lifting weights three times a week puts them in some special class of human. All the "I never quit because I'm no weak" and "I eat pain" rhetoric does nothing but discourage me from even trying. It's not the…

What a tasteless and ignorant ad.

I hope that was meant to be somewhat ironic and intentionally douchey, but I suspect it was accidental. The myth of the bootstrapper continued.

God that guy's a fucking prick.

Extremely happy that this is becoming a more respected choice. People get so offended when you dare to live your life in a non conventional way.

I was more so pointing this out for the crazies thinking the gub'ment is going to track our movements.

What's with the Jalopnik commentariat today? This is a good article pointing out an important issue, and a lot of the commenters are more concerned with complaining about the importance of accuracy in advertising (?) and how offended they are by the suggestion that a company should maybe reconsider making such a…

Cars talking to each other is nothing new.

The female engineers were too busy being badasses on the race track to worry about silly wingy thingies.

Well they are:

Perhaps there are no women engineers because we don't promote engineering to women in our advertising?
