Majority Of Workers At Alabama Mercedes Plant Sign Union Cards In Major Breakthrough For UAW

[skews13]

A serious milestone was reached Tuesday when a majority of workers at a Mercedes-Benz plant in Vance, Alabama, signed union cards. It was the result of a recently launched organizing drive by the United Auto Workers in nonunion plants, particularly in the South.

In November, fresh after winning a historic contract victory following a strike against the Big Three automakers, UAW President Shawn Fain announced that the union would launch one of the largest organizing drives in its history, targeting nonunion U.S. plants owned by large foreign automakers as well as Elon Musk’s Tesla electric vehicle manufacturer.

Good to see.

The UAW has been on a roll lately.

Alabama is a Right to Work state.

You know, where you have the right to work for less.

The fact that the UAW goombas were able to muscle enough workers to sign union cards is just one step.

The problem the UAW has had in the past is getting people to vote for them in a secret ballot, where they don't have to worry about getting whacked for saying no to the la cosa nostra.

Those workers saw the pay raises the workers in Ohio, and Michigan got. They will be lining up to vote in that ballot.

Where they don't have to worry about the la cosa nostra threatening their jobs.

Mercedes has also been raising wages, skews.

And they are doing it without forcing their workers out on a virtually unpaid strike.

Mercedes will move out if aggravated enough. Anyway, at some point China will enter the automobile market, learn quality controls and have the potential for domination. For the peasants.

Germans aren't nearly as jolly as libs pretend nowadays. Those who remember Mr. Hitler and Kaiser Wilhelm certainly know this.

The La Cosa Nostra doesn't want a job, except for no-work and no-show types of jobs.

Their main interest is in dues, initiation fees from the workers, and payoffs from the bosses who run the joint.

So the price of a new Mercedes will go up accordingly...see why a Big Mac meal is astronomical?

The price will go up because Benz will have to import them from Stuttgart, or perhaps at the firm's new plant in Juarez.

Pretty much. Democrats: "We'll show you!"

Later...."why is my Big Mac fourteen dollars?"

Very good.

Unions are vital in Republican controlled states hostile to working Americans.

Any floor worker with a brain sees others making a better wage for the same work is going to question why he or she is happier making less.

So, skrewey, those of your ilk who aren't so lazy and actually have jobs want to give away money to a union?
No wonder you vote for Biden....

 

[Lord-Humungus]

I hope those workers have a better experience with the union than I had. Leaving was the best thing I did

All the Trump supporting linemen I work with have no problem giving to the union they love.

They aren't lazy either.

That's certainly true enough on its face. But the facts are that Big Labor really doesn't deliver this at all.

Wages have been going up all over, not just in unionized workplaces. And Scab Employers don't force the employees to pony up tribute to union bosses, organizers and business agents.
