UAW Throws Temper Tantrum After Labor Board Says VW Anti-Union Group Can Legally Oppose Union

The United Auto Workers lashed out at the National Labor Relations Board Wednesday, calling the agency’s ruling in favor of anti-union Volkswagen AG workers “an outrage.”

On Tuesday, the NLRB granted a motion by five VW workers seeking the right to challenge the UAW’s challenge of last month’s vote at their factory in Chattanooga. Workers there rejected the UAW, despite the German automaker’s tacit support for union representation.

The workers who brought the challenge are represented by the National Right-to-Work Legal Defense Foundation.

They should go back to building automobiles already. The workforce at the VW plant voted against unionization. This is done.

The people running the UAW should switch places with the autoworkers for a few months to see, firsthand, what it is like to have a real job, making a real product.

Union management have lost their touch with reality.

They are not "anti-union Volkswagen AG workers". They are anti-UAW. There's a difference.

The sooner the UAW is repudiated the faster quality will increase and the better--ironically--workers will have it. I'd be OK with unions existing, IF they were banned from all forms of political activity.
