As
the labor movement tells the story, two months ago, the silly,
ungrateful Volkswagen factory workers in Tennessee foolishly rejected
the generous invitation of the company and the United Auto Workers to
welcome the Detroit-killing union with open arms.
In an election supervised by the federal National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), the workers in VW's Chattanooga plant rejected UAW representation by a vote of 712 to 626.
Amazingly,
the UAW and the automaker both refuse to take the workers' "no" for an
answer. The two sides are acting in unison to overturn the
democratically expressed will of the workers.
Nullifying
an election by fiat with the collusion of corporate management and
organized labor is something we would expect to see in a nation
dominated by fascism, a dangerous foreign ideology embraced by President
Obama and the so-called progressives of the early twentieth century and
today.
