UAW Creating Non Recognized Union For Chattanooga VW Plant

The United Auto Workers union will announce today that's it's forming a union local in Chattanooga to represent employees at the Volkswagen plant.

Participation will be voluntary, and there will be no formal recognition of the union by the German automaker until a majority of its workers have joined, UAW officials have confirmed.

"We will be announcing a local, and we would fully expect that Volkswagen would deal with this local union if it represents a substantial portion of its employees," UAW Secretary-Treasurer Gary Casteel of Ashland City said this morning.

"It's dependent on the employees and what they want to do."

What the UAW lacks in decency they make up for in tenacity.

Like most leftist causes/organizations they refuse to take losing votes for an answer. Like a Martingale gambler, they'll just double down after every loss until they finally win one, after which there's no going back. This parasitic organization needs to be eradicated.

VW and their damned Gestapo tactics. I mean we know the UAW are scum sucking leaches killing the American industry, but VW actually WANTS a union. That is moronic, antithetical to a company's logic, and counterintuitive if controlling costs is a goal.

The UAW and all unions need to be banned from all political activities. The UAW wants to unionize NOT for the workers but to siphon money against workers consent to the DNC.

The sooner unions are grenaded the sooner prosperity will return and the sooner workers will be actually taken care of.
