I think the real irony is that once the unions get everything they are fighting for then the union itself becomes the tool of oppression of it's members.

They haven't seen firsthand what unions in the US are like. Unlike Daimler Benz who got their exposure when they owned Chrysler.

I would guess it must have gotten pretty serious, though, for the union goons to back down.

Hasn't Volkswagen workers also voted against the unions at least 3 times. Except Volkswagen is pushing the unions.

Saturn workers did not want the union either. Funny coincidence that it was one of the divisions ended during the "restructuring".

Cronymals all of them.

Shoe really pinches when it is on the union foot.

Good 😎

I laughed at the utter irony of that.

Clearly they are not wanted. Take the hint!

Unions are not inherently evil but many years of government protection and preference have turned them against the very people they are there to protect. They have become just another arm of the government in that the unions have more government protection than the union members.

From the article; "The union filed an unfair labor practice with the National Labor Relations Board in which it alleged that "two organizers were threatened at gunpoint and others reported hostile and near-violent confrontations," according to a union press release"

Union organizers use forceful, sometimes violent tactics and are protected by law but then accuse the opposition of using the same tactics. Classic communist tactics according to Oleg Atbashian.of the Peoples Cube.

The union lost a previous vote there.
