      XPost: ba.politics, dc.media, soc.penpals       XPost: alt.burningman       From: sk@msnbc.com              After workers at Volkswagen's Tennessee plant voted to reject       the UAW, the German company's home union, which has seats on its       management council, threatened to block investment in the plant       if the workers don't accept a union.              It will be interesting to see how the media spins this one. The       Daily Show's John Stewart foamed at the mouth about GOP Bob       Corker supposedly interfering in the vote by criticizing the       UAW; how will Stewart feel about Germans intimidating U.S.       workers? I suspect he won't be bothered.              "(Reuters) - Volkswagen's top labor representative threatened on       Wednesday to try to block further investments by the German       carmaker in the southern United States if its workers there are       not unionized."?              https://plus.google.com/+JimFawcette/posts/DS6kyzsevdh              http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/02/19/us-vw-usplant-       idUSBREA1I0S820140219                             --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
