UAW challenging Tenn VW vote Outside influence blamed

Does the UAW not understand that it as an organization is also an "outside influence?"

Little known fact, for years this is how that racist scumbag Jesse Jackson has made a buttload of money. Whenever a union was going to have a close vote, especially in a shop with a large black workforce, the unions would pay Jackson a ton of money to come in at the last second and "urge" the black workers to vote for the union with his racist rhetoric.

And yet, now they're going to complain about outside influences?

Aren't their German union affiliations specific to VW and not part of a national union like the UAW?

If so, a VW union specific to VW is not the same as UAW-type unions.

Actually the UAW would have little influence because they would immediately have to turn to a works council system like every other VW agreement. These models are not nearly as hostile as the typical UAW structures we have seen in the states. These councils work with VW to reduce workforce hours during slow downs and even embrace automation in the factories so they can remain competitive. It's a very different relationship than we are accustomed to seeing.

This from the party(GOP) which claims government shouldn' interfere with Private business. Now that's hypocritical.

I do not think it means what you think it means.

The VW workers voted no on unionizing. The UAW wants the government to step in and overrule the will of the workers in a private company. It's the libs who are trying to interfere. Saying the government should respect the workers' decision is wholly consistent with the principle of noninterference.
