Lobbied AGAINST the vote but Volkswagen corporation was all for it!

Good for them.

Now let’s see the Toyota Plant in Georgetown, KY and all the rest do the same.

and threatened to pull their tax incentives for building there. That is why it is not a union plant at this point. Indeed, VW had no problem with going union.

I hope magafox news ups their anti-union propaganda in their knee-jerk white nationalist power-hungry fashion and starts alienating all those magafox watching union members. And those new union members will begin to realize that magafox has just been a sewage processor slinging nasty narratives unto proponents of fairness and equality. And then we'll begin to see a new phenomenon called magafox fatigue. But that may be asking for too much.

And no one is even paying attention. The working class hasn’t seen progress like this in generations.

None of this would be happening without Joe Biden spearheading the renewed labor movement in this country.
