Volkswagon auto factory in Tennessee just voted to go UNION!!
Every "southern" governor spoke out against this union drive/effort.
Rethugs HATE workers organizing for a better life.
Rethug governors pedaled their states to automakers as a union-free environment.
Proud of my fellow newest UAW-inductees for voting UNION-YES.
WELCOME ABOARD!!
Life will improve with your soon incoming union contract.
To Rethug governors, like George Carlin once said, up your ass with a broomstick!!
Bonus, WTF is "southern" anyway? Another country?
The term "southern" is becoming offensive and unpatriotic to me.

(16,314 posts)And we should support our new members as they form the Union they want. I worked Union for over 30+ years and it was an experience Ill never forget. Took advantage of being active and the opportunities and those values still have a place in my life. I hope their leadership represents them well as management will be testing them so be strong and know your values and your contract. ✊

Republicans and conservatives want only a rich class and a poor class. More workers, less rich. No womans heath care equals more workers. No workers rights equals right to work (fired just because).

(32,086 posts)they were high school graduates who were able to have decent jobs with benefits (and piece work - remember that? My dad loved the reward of being able to make more if you put in the effort). All 3 of us kids were able to graduate from in-state colleges on the shoulders of their work.
My dad always said that the unions weren't perfect (some of them were pretty strong in the mid 1900s and could be violent as well), but without them they didn't have anything. With a union you were able to approach management as a group with demands - without that you'd just be individually fired if you said anything at all that they didn't like. I'm so glad to hear unions are on the rise again.
