UAW Targets Nissan's Mississippi Assembly Plant For Organization

The United Auto Workers is stepping up its effort to organize Nissan Motor Co., taking the unusual step of playing workers at the company's factory in Canton, Miss., against their higher-paid counterparts at the company's plant in Smyrna, Tenn.

The UAW has been holding meetings with small groups of Nissan workers in Mississippi since the end of last year, when The Detroit News first reported that union leaders had picked the Japanese automaker as the target of their much-publicized campaign to organize a foreign car company on U.S. soil.

Correction: UAW Targets Nissan's Mississippi Assembly Plant For UNIONIZATION.

The plant is already organized, and running well. They just haven't been bunged up by the UAW.

My proposed UAW slogan: "The UAW: Let us do for you what we did for GM!"

If they are smart, they will say an absolute "No" to the UAW Kronies.
