Common sense finally prevails. Maybe, the unions will start rethinking their negotiations with companies, so they stop making demands that put people out of jobs and companies out of business.

  One thing about the south, they do have a wonderful tendency to resist unions. Just having the Boeing plant in South Carolina forced the Washington plant to buy into a contract so to keep those jobs in place. That is good news for VW in Chattanooga!

    Yeah, we had union people show up at our plant once. They were tolerated for awhile, but finally a physical brawl ensued. I do not endorse violence, but the union people did not come back for several years.

My guess is that the UAW will continue to push this vote again, and again, and again, until they finally win.

  They'll go the the NLRB which is packed with Obama cronies. Wouldn't surprise me if the NLRB called for another vote or overturned the workers' votes. This is, after all, the newly transformed America.
