All union workers should be out on their asses.

They cost the company way too much money and cost us consumers in overpaying for a product.

These idiots don’t comprehend the mobility of capital in modern society. It’s fairly painless for a manufacturer to move operations to another country over the course of a few years - especially when converting to a new product version or model.

The “find out” part for a worker usually takes a couple years so they wake up one day and just wonder why they are back flipping burgers for $15/hour with no benefits instead of flipping car parts for $35 + benefits.

Instead of parroting the same old tired right winged rhetoric it may be valuable to understand VW's management team take on unions...they prefer a union workforce over a non-union one because they can negotiate with a small group representing the entire group. They have 122 plants worldwide in places like China, Ghana and Mexico...all but one has a CBA with the employees, the plant in Tennessee. VW Management was ASTONISHED the first time the vote was not in favor of a union and actually planned to move the line to a plant with a CBA so they would not have to negotiate with thousands of people individually....VW is in a FAR better position to manage their business than Tennessee politicians or anyone without a vested financial interest in managing VWs business practices. They prefer a CBA with their employees.
