[QUOTE="FedExRookie, post: 1275828, member: 44400"] There are no facts only our opinions as to why the workers opposed it. Here are my assumptions. 1. Politicians ran anti democrat/obama ads. Saying supporting a union was like supporting liberals. Everyone knows Tennesse is a red state. 2. The workers saw Detroit fall with unions. 3. Workers see it as paying another organization when they don't have to. Three is a crowd? 4. Maybe people just don't want unions 5. I read a local Tennessee blog, a non Volkswagen workers said $18 is more than enough there. He felt as though workers were happy with that pay, considering the cost of living, and felt no reason to interject another party into a circumstance that would leave the workers well off for their location. The UAW has seen drastic drops in membership. I think unions can be a good thing, but all good things become corrupt and come to an end. The union went from being about the workers to being about making money and doing just a little for the workers. It's not feasible to do; however, unions and politics would be a lot better if we could hit a magic restart button on them. [/QUOTE]
