Good on ya, VW workers…

Well…just wanted to do a short one on the great news out of Tennessee where just yesterday the 4,000 workers at the VW assembly plant there voted to join the UAW after years of struggle with the government of Tennessee along with management of VW…and the governor of not only Tennessee but of all the other southern red states tried to put pressure on the workers with the lies they always use telling them that things will get worse if they voted for the union and that they now could lose their jobs…the same playbook that has been used against unions since the start…okay UAW, do tesla next…it does make a difference who is president…and Joe Biden has been a vocal supporter of unions since he was elected…keep up the good work…

The stupid runs really deep in Kentucky…

Well…as time goes on, I am more and more amazed at how stupid the workers in repub areas are….this was shown this past week when the workers at a VW plant in Kentucky voted to not unionize even though VW wanted them to to bring the plant in line with every other VW plant across the world…and a big part of it was the outside money and interference in the election by elected officials across Kentucky. So, these idiots in Kentucky think that it is better to have no say in their wages, working conditions, and problem resolution? How brainwashed must they be to believe the crap that the repubs were spewing…the lies that one of their senators in particular spread…that VW would not have any new products built at the plant if they unionized…something that VW flatly denied? I am stunned that these folks are so steeped in the Fox news propaganda against unions across this country…unions, by the way that built the middle class and without which, the workers at that VW plant would be making half what they make now…does that make them takers? I think it does…geez…
