I can’t wait to see the look on the yoonyun slugs faces when VW relocates the plant to Mexico.

VW wanted the union, they've been pushing for it for several years. It fits better with the company structure since they are used to dealing with unions in Germany anyway. It was the locals that didn't want it, guess they got a bunch of turds from the north hired on.

They say the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Well, sometimes, it gets replaced. Is Tennessee really in the rust belt? I never thought of it that way. |

Axle Rose: arguably the biggest douchebag in the history of rock and roll.

NOTHING like the real "Rust Belt"; areas like Pittsburgh and Bethlehem, PA and sites in Ohio. Steel plants abandoned, rusting away, spanning 10's of acres and livelihoods lost and financial ruin for many...

I learned to hate unions from my grandfather. Because of his great work ethic, he was one of the last employees at a company that finally went belly-up during the Great Depression. Then, he went to work for their competitor the next day, and stayed with them until he was in his early 80's.
If that had been union jobs, he would have been unemployed. |

I am as square as mine was, too. Too bad 3 of his 4 kids ended up as screaming, outraged liberals. I'd give a lot to spend an afternoon with him again. He's been gone since 1975. |

Does Westmoreland ring a bell?
It's deja vu all over again. |
