Wow, I was thinking the UAW might have made a little progress at the Volkswagen plant, guess not. It looks like they got their ass kicked.

I was reading an article just the other day about the danger that is threatening the wolves on Isle Royale.

The wolf pack is in need of a new influx of members in their pack to maintain the herd because of all the inbreeding.  Otherwise they could become extinct.

Gotta love the way expat's video starts out.  Now we have a VW plant in Tennessee and some of the workers are thinking about joining the union and that makes sense because then their pay would be higher.

From the WSJ
QUOTE
The works council concept also proved a winner for some Chattanooga workers. Jonathan Walden, 39 years old, earns about $19.50 an hour—about $4 an hour more than starting workers at GM, Ford and Chrysler.

"I just don't trust them," said Danielle Brunner, 23, who has worked at the plant for nearly three years and makes about $20 an hour—about $5 an hour more than new hires at GM, Ford and Chrysler plants.


The humorous thing is that
QUOTE
the union had the cooperation of Volkswagen management and the aid of Germany's powerful IG Metall union, yet it failed to win a majority among the plants 1,550 hourly workers.

The Chattanooga workers had been courted steadily for nearly two years by both the UAW and the IG Metall union, which pushed Volkswagen management to open talks with the UAW and to refrain from trying to dissuade American workers from union representation.




QUOTE
"The union needs new members. They have to organize the transplants or they don't have much of a future," said Sean McAlinden, chief economist at the Center for Automotive Research in Ann Arbor, Mich.

The election was also extraordinary because Volkswagen chose to cooperate closely with the UAW. Volkswagen allowed UAW organizers to campaign inside the factory—a step rarely seen in this or other industries.
