Thank You, Senator Corker And Todd Womack

  • Sunday, February 16, 2014

Thank you, Senator Corker, and especially your staff member Todd Womack, for your determination and courage in facing down the UAW and their efforts to organize the VW plant. 

It's tough when the cards are all stacked in the opposition's favor...and in this case the entire deck was in the UAW's hands. But through yours and other government leaders, who are all locals - not outsiders like UAW - the employees were given the additional tools to assist them in making their decisions.

Make no mistake the VW employees made the correct decision and credit goes to them for their courage and their due diligence in reaching their no vote.

Today's workers are intelligent, well-informed, and tech-savvy.  The new model of the UAW sold just like the old model of the UAW...costly to the company and the employees and the customer didn't buy an inferior product. 
 
Congratulations, VW employees for the No vote.
