CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. -- The United Auto Workers was dealt a stinging defeat tonight, with a majority of employees at a Volkswagen plant here voting against joining the union after a high-profile opposition campaign led by Republican politicians and outside political groups.

Company and union executives announced the outcome at a news conference at the plant, hours after polls closed. The results, still to be certified by the National Labor Relations Board, were close: With 89 percent participation, 712 workers voted no, and 626 voted yes.

The loss came in spite of an unprecedented level of support from the company being organized. Frank Fischer, CEO and chairman of Volkswagen Chattanooga -- who had encouraged the idea of starting a German-style "works council" at the plant, like those in place at Volkswagen's other factories -- even seemed saddened by the outcome.

That's 712 workers that are interested in working and not having to worry about their job going away because their company went bankrupt or moved to another state - that's 626 people who just got in town from Detroit who didn't learn the first time

Also one less government bailout down the road.

Not sure what vote is for what, but it was left up to the workers which is the way it should be.

More RX posters rooting against the American middle class.

Johnny Mac is more out there than the resident lib loons on this site. Don't even bother reading his terrible opinions.

Their wealthy masters tell them laborers are too spoiled and CEO's need more money. So they have to agree with it or they'll be kicked out of the cult.

"that's just messed up"

how do these guys think of the stuff they think of?

is "think" the appropriate word to use?

the best thing you can say about this argument is that it's "begging the question"

:ohno:

it's like they think business owners and managers aren't people too, it's has if they think corporations are living breathing entities set out to destroy mankind. They live in some bubble stuck inside a horror film

dudes, the blob is not a real life corporation, it's a fictional movie. there's no boogeymen hiding under your bed either

modern day business owners are compassionate people. they know their employees' families, they attend weddings, they do not wish harm on them and they can't get away with treating them poorly for so many damn reasons, you have to be beyond clueless to not know this

The rejection of a key Democratic Party ally occurred despite President Barack Obama’s personal support for the unionization drive. Tennessee Republicans “are more concerned about German shareholders than American workers,” Obamasaid shortly before American workers shot down the unionization bid, according to the Detroit Free Press.

Loser!@#0

Just think how absurd it is for the President to be at all involved with a unionization vote at a single auto plant.

Probably 'cause he's so busy and stuff.

You're just another leftist economic illiterate.

Of course you're free to explain what unionization has done to Detroit. A place, mind you, that VW moved their North American headquarters out of about 5 years ago.

he likes to display his ignorance covering as many issues as possible, he sticks his nose into everything, he's that fucking narcissistic

and he never misses a chance to put some american down with his ignorance. Only a stupid man can argue some person is more concerned about German shareholders than american workers simply because he disagrees with them.

he can't believe it, so he's lying again

It's just engrained in the Willie. They are so filled with hate and jealousy, it is the only way they know how to react, knowing they will never be a business owner or much of anything with their degree in Anthropology, Liberal Arts, Oriental Medicine, Aromatherapy or Sociology.

Kinda like the girl who got cut from the cheerleader squad in high school justifying it by saying "their all a bunch of bitches anyways." This is who they are, rejects, do nothings, wasted talents, lazy welfare scum....hating on those who have done something with their lives.

Like you say, it's libtardism
