On the first day of voting Bob Corker (R-Scabville) said that he was assured that a 'no' vote meant VW would build their new SUV car Chattanooga.
Okay, it's a free country. Senator Bob can say whatever he wants and it's apparently not illegal for a high ranking elected government official to interfere in a private sector free market process like that. What he said may or may not have made the difference, but according to this republican senator Corker was out of line:
"I think the free market message of, 'Look, we are a great country and.. and we do not want the government involved in ways we deem to be un-American."
Bob Corker November 4, 2009
Ted Cruz pointed out the obvious when he said,
Imagine the UAW claiming a "low blow" on a union vote. That's funny right there.
What if President Obama chimed in on the first day of voting and said he was assured that a YES vote meant the SUV would be built in Chattanooga? Don't you see the problem with ANY elected official interfering in the market place?
BTW, you and fellow baggers were so busy bashing Unions and Obama you forgot VW promised the new SUV plant was NOT riding on the Union vote. And yet when the workers voted no, VW said they may never build another plant in the South. How did all of you miss that?
You guys just want to spew bile even when you have a compelling argument. Maybe you're so seldom on the right side of ANY issue you don't bother checking facts.
Duly noted.
toiletwater goes like this here:
"VW said they may never build another plant in the South. How did all of you miss that?"
How did you miss this?
"NLRB officials have since recommended dismissal of those charges, but not because his statement didn't qualify as coercive. Instead, the NLRB decision said that Osterloh isn't bound by U.S. law because he's in Germany."
"After those comments that seemed to tie the union vote to local VW expansion, Osterloh also said there was no connection between the union vote and expansion in Chattanooga."
"Despite last week's vote against UAW representation, some Volkswagen leaders still want Chattanooga workers to be part of the Global Works Council."
Talk about not checking facts.
You tried to piece together quotes from an article to support whatever case you were trying to make, but you missed the point. AGAIN. You concentrated on some group call the right to work council's frivolous grievance with the NLRB.
I stand by my statement.
VW said the SUV plant was not tied to the vote, but when workers said No, VW official Osterloh responded with, "I can imagine fairly well that another VW factory in the United States, provided that one more should still be set up there, does not necessarily have to be assigned to the South again."
And you are shocked, SHOCKED! to hear VW is trying to keep all its options open? The SUV plant is powerful leverage that VW will use to extract another sweet deal. How much has VW reaped so far by the generous Tennessee taxpayers? $500 million?
Personally, I believe Osterloh spoke out of turn. He said something in a moment of clarity many of his associates probably wish he had kept to himself.
Like when Ted Cruz said,
If you can fog a mirror and pay union dues, you can belong to the UAW. That doesn't say much for a more qualified work force does it? You have all of these trades unions where you have to be qualified and tested in order to work on union construction jobs, yes, belonging to that type of union makes sense. Belonging to the UAW is belonging to the Democrat fund raising arm and legalized extortion union. That is the MAIN initiative of the UAW, in my opinion. We all understand that those crying and whining about opposition to the UAW support the Democrat/Liberal party and want to enhance the funds of the party with collection of UAW dues, fact. That is the main concern of those for the UAW, they just won't say it. Let VW workers organize of course, just don't do it with the nastiest skunk in town, the UAW.
"We all understand that those crying and whining about opposition to the UAW support the Democrat/Liberal party and want to enhance the funds of the party with collection of UAW dues, fact."
That is not "fact", cooljb. From Heritage.org:
"The First Amendment protects freedom of speech. No one can force Americans to financially promote views they oppose. So unions cannot compel workers to support their political activities. Supreme Court rulings let workers opt out of dues spent on politics."
This guy is a broken record. Just sticks to his propaganda rotation. Never any new insight. Easy money.
PT, yeah, low blow. That is funny. More projection.
Notice the anti-union guy as red shorts on, meaning Republican. I guarantee that many who voted
against this weren't all Republicans.
Of course if the UAW had won, Bennett's cartoon would have to show the fighter on the right bent over and grasping his ankles.
Very interesting article on VW and the UAW.
Gauss, Under Citizens United, unions can take member dues and spend the money on materials in support or in opposition to a candidate for office. This is problematic because union members are not asked for permission before this money is spent, and it is often difficult to ask for a refund.
That's right, blackwater, Cruz is a great example of someone who will criticize his own party. Unlike the sheep-like majority in your party who hang on every word your dear leader tosses out. The GOP is taking after the Democrat Party in the hope that they become popular with the media. Liberals are liars, and in order for the GOP to be like them they have to lie too. You have the most accomplished liar in the history of presidency, but none of you liberals have the guts to dare say so. You should admire Cruz for standing up to liars. The GOP/rinos, like McCain, are barely different than the Dems.
Conservatives have no control over the GOP, but leftists are in firm control of your party.

I think you liberals are scared of Ted Cruz because he will attack rinos as hard has he does Dems.
The only way for any Republican to beat a Democrat for the WH is to elect a true conservative, not a GOP candidate hand picked by the liberal media/democrat party.
Just because Cruz calls his own party liars, blackwater, doesn't mean your party isn't a pack of liars. If you think quoting Cruz all the time distracts from BO' gigantic pile of stinking lies, you're nuts.
Nobody lies like BO.
Don't you see the problem with ANY elected official interfering in the market place?-blackwater
Absolutely I do and I'm so glad you finally get it and understand government meddling in the market is the problem. i'm sure you also meant to mention health insurance, social security, prescription drugs, auto-bailouts, cash for clunkers, first time home buyers credit, home mortgage interest deduction, fannie mae and Freddie mac, pell grants, student loans, green energy tax credits for vehicles, appliances, solar energy, pilot agreements, .......
I totally agree with you. this meddling by government in the market is destroying our economy.

Thank you once again for the insult for it always the final option used by the Liberal when he is refuted and defeated.
Finally, the GOP is getting aggressive! Had Romney used Bengazi to castrate Barry the Welfare Pimp during the last election we wood not have this golf while innocents die in Syria joker as POTUS! Rahim Emmanuel, David Axelrod, are masters of political hard ball and the GOP if they want to win must do more of it! Playing nice with a Marxist radical left wing Democrat party will send you home with a loss every time. If the GOP gets aggressive with a CONSERVATIVE message attacking the failures of Barry The Welfare Pimps utopian society failures the GOP will win big! Tora! Tora! Tora!
Now to kick Lamar Alexander and John McCain in the gonads and vote those two week kneed moderates out of office! Bad Ass Bob Corker For President! Good toon Clay, the GOP did kick the Obama UAW out of VW! About time. The Obama UAW simply sore losers and if they get another vote they will lose again!
The Neutrality Agreement between VW and the UAW essentially blocked anyone from presenting an opposing argument in the plant. Only a grass roots effort internally was able to make a presence in the final days.
The UAW presented material that implied higher wages. But, they had actually bargained away representation on wages in the agreement with VW. Further evidence that they cannot be trusted.
I am very grateful that our elected officials stood up in our defense. We had no voice.

Had VW allowed anti-union forces into the plant to oppose the UAW thugs,the elected officials would not have had to resort to public statements. The VW official who made the public statement that he would oppose building future plants in the south,is the union leader for VW. Of course he will oppose building plants where unions,especially the UAW,are not as welcome as they may be elsewhere. He is only one vote on the board of VW. That does not mean that there is no way another plant will be built in the south. He,like the UAW,wants more people in unions so that more dues money is rolling in. If the workers at the Chattanooga VW plant feel the need,in the future, to unionize they can do so. They are free to choose a union that is not so militant in their actions.
In case you missed the fine work of the UAW and how they get jobs back for those drinking and getting stoned during break.
No one on this site can seem to explain or justify.
BLACKWATER!!! Can you please explain.
How about Clay Bennett????
You anti-union ignoramuses would have fought against ANY organization whose purpose met the DESIRES of Volkswagen. It could have been "The Amalgamated Brotherhood of Hood Ornament Polishers" and you would have still gone ballistic.
Those who worked to organize dock workers, steel workers, coal miners and countless others after the turn of the century were fiercely opposed by the big capitalists and their corporations - often with government support. The struggle for union rights and fairness in the workplace was won with blood and there is every reason to think it will have to be revived in the same way.
Volkswagen is a mystery to those who worked to unionize workers in the old days - here we have a corporation that seeks to involve workers in a cooperative atmosphere which should be a slam-dunk success - and GOOD for the company, but wonks like Corker and Haslam and the "our gang" led by Grover Norquist (talk about 'outside agitators') were the enemy in this case since they work only for shareholders and the one percent and care nothing about the companies or the rights of their workers. For ANY worker to support their election is a mystery too deep to understand.

Are the employees at the Chattanooga plant working in unsafe conditions? NO. Are the employees of the Chattanooga plant being paid a lower wage than other auto plants? NO. Is the equipment in the Chattanooga plant old or outdated? NO. Are the officials the the Chattanooga plant unwilling to let the employees have some say in the goings on at the plant? NO. I still have not seen even one pro-union poster on this site explain exactly what the union would do for the workers at the Chattanooga plant that the management isn't already willing to do.

For the record. In recent months there was frustration with the work schedule at VW. So, VW allowed each of the shops to vote on which shift model they wished to have. Two shops chose to keep the shift they already had, while the third went in a different direction.
I do not understand how anyone can claim these people are being deprived of a voice in VW. This is how any smart business today is run if you seek to get maximum potential from the work force. Managers today are not the same as those 50 years ago. They are leaders.

TD - most of those conditions you are so eager to credit the company for were won by union activism. If they are accepted as the status quo today, it is a testament to the value of unions which worked hard to make them the norm. Why can't you get past the idea that a "works council" that gives workers a formal seat at the table would be the end of the world?

You want to muzzle them.

tifosi, better keep the faith: "By the time they arrive in Bethany, Lazarus has been dead and buried for four days. Martha, a sister of Lazarus tells Jesus: "if you had been here, my brother would not have died", but Jesus assures her that her brother will rise again and states: "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?"
Then Jesus said, "Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?" So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said:
"Father, I thank you that you have heard me. I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me."
When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out!" The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face. Jesus said to them, "Take off the grave clothes and let him go."

tifosi - the better question would be how much influence the Tea Party still influences the GOP. When a TP candidate runs against another GOP candidate its a race to see who can move further to the right. Moderation or compromise have become evil words with the TP.
Question for you, are you satisfied making so much less than German Wokers who perform the same work as you? Their higher wages are the result of union wages and a progressive mindset.
What is this southern inferiority complex that seems to imply a lack of self worth, an almost glorification of the right for people or businesses to take advantage of them economically?
Conservatives imply a strong individuality and opposition to entities who would take advantage of them while in reality they meekly follow leaders who reduce their wages and social benefits for the benefit of the rich and big business.
As you say..."Better get educated."
librul,I have no problem with a works council. Unfortunately, thanks to unions,a works council is not legal in the U.S.unless they are represented by a union.

I make great money with great benefits. I am for being competitive in our respective market. I don't want VW Chinese wages either. They have a union.
Germans pay a lot more taxes too. Do you want that too?
Germans are required to serve in the military.

Germans pay $9 for a gallon of gas.
Would you like to pay over a thousand dollars to get your drivers license?
One hours worth of my wages buys a lot more than a comparable German.
Your point is?
dignity says "What is this southern inferiority complex that seems to imply a lack of self worth, an almost glorification of the right for people or businesses to take advantage of them economically?" WTF are you saying here, diggs?
^^^^ diggity is studying the playbook so as to form a reply.
A VW Chattanooga production worker makes more in 2 days than a union represented VW Chinese employee makes in a month.
"VW chief financial officer Hans Dieter Pötsch explained the company's strategy in statements to the B ö rsen-Zeitung stock market daily. Because auto sales in Western Europe have dropped to a level not seen since 1993, Pötsch says, "belts will have to be tightened when it comes to [production] costs". This can only mean that employees of the largest European car manufacturer now face imminent layoffs and a sharp deterioration in working conditions."
"Another thorn in the side of the auto companies concerns wage levels, which are higher in the coastal areas than in the provinces of central and western China. The minimum wages, set by local administrations in China, are based on the varying standards of living. The monthly minimum wages in many parts of the Xinjiang province lie between 1160 and 1320 yuan (€142-162 or US$189-215), well below the level of 1,620 yuan (€198 or US$263) in Shanghai."
This is the funniest Bennett cartoon to date. Bar none. And for none of the reasons the bile-spewing UAW hacks project.
The irony in the cartoon is brilliant. The use of a crowbar (or some other UAW calling card) in the violent act would have been beyond brilliant.
tifosi - regarding your comment at February 22, 2014 at 10:10 a.m.
Are YOU happy with our elected officals making threatning comments saying they may not offer incentatives if workers voted union? You are aware if that happened that this would probably result in VW finding someone else to give them incentives to build and deprive Chattanooga the jobs?
Are YOU happy with Corkers comment that VW would only add the SUV if workers voted against union while offering no proof of this and knowing that VW said the vote had no bearing on its decision? What Corker said was a lie. Are you happy with this?
Are you happy with our elected officials saying that auto suppliers would not move here if VW went union without offering any proof?
It's one thing for our officials to voice opposition to unions, it's quite another for them to issue threats, lies, and misinformation. Does this not bother you?
Perhaps you are happy with these officials philosophy of keeping wages and benefits as low as possible so the companies can pay their CEO's multimillion dollar salaries from your sweat?
Perhaps you could enlighten me as to what percentage of a companies profits you think should be allocated to the workers who made these products? What do you think YOUR labor is worth in relation to profits especially when YOUR tax dollars were given to bring the companies here.
What is your sense of self worth? Perhaps you have succumbed to what I wrote in my previous post at 10:52 a.m.?
Pull down your sleeves, tifosi, your right wing is showing. Let's go recycling! C'mon, plaintruth, get your face outta that All Star Breakfast Platter and let's shrink our carbon footprint.
My elected officials stated the truth. Suppliers WILL NOT locate here. I worked for TRW and when the UAW card was being played they aggressively resisted the UAW. If the UAW represented VW workers, I can guarantee that TRW would not be anywhere in the vicinity. Why do you think the auto companies came to the South??? They were sick of the thugs. If it were not for the South's position regarding the UAW, there would be no auto plants in the South.
My base wages should not be based on profits. I took NO financial risk in the venture. RISK=REWARD.
I choose when, where and how much I am willing to work for. No one chains me to my work station. I know where my car is parked and I have the freedom walk out at any time.
I am very happy that my elected officials spoke up. No one else on par with the UAW would. VW muzzled opposition in the plant. Bo Watson did not threaten (see Patta question). He simply pointed out the obvious... that he did not feel that our elected officials would ever pass an incentive package if the UAW were brought in. He and Senator Corker do not control that vote.
I know for a fact that VW officials are very divided on the UAW issue. VW is a "for profit" entity. Audi chose to go to Mexico because they could make more money. When it comes to future expansion in Chattanooga, VW will go where they can make the most profit.
Tell me hotdiggity... what exactly do you think the UAW has to offer VW Chattanooga employees???
Why did the UAW oppose Volkswagen Chattanooga becoming a Free Trade Zone??? To protect Detroit auto workers. That is why.
No union teat sucker has EVER stated what the UAW could do for VW Nooga.
Beautiful day. I am going to pull up my right and left sleeves to work in the yard. No union ever did anything to help me get my home. I worked for it.
Don't even bother with that tired old line "The unions did this 'n' that years ago."
I have my freedom thanks to the brave men and women that fought and died in our armed forces. No one else.
tifosi, I think you will find this article interesting. It explains how the National Relations Labor Board fast tracked the vote to benefit the UAW and they still lost the vote. Also it appears the UAW would cost employees money as they would have to pay union dues but would not receive a wage increase to compensate for the union dues that are forcibly taken from their pay check.
I think you will find other interesting information in this article as well.

Dear Abby,
I am a crack dealer in Beaumont, Texas, who has recently been diagnosed as a carrier of HIV virus. My parents live in Fort Worth. One of my sisters lives in Pflugerville and is married to a transvestite. My father and mother have recently been arrested for growing and selling marijuana. They are financially dependent on my other two sisters, who are prostitutes in Dallas. I have 2 brothers: one is currently serving a non-parole life sentence at Huntsville for the murder of a teenage boy in 1994. My other brother is currently in jail awaiting charges of sexual misconduct with his 3 children. I have recently become engaged to marry a former prostitute who lives in Longview, a part time "working girl". All things considered, my problem is this: I love my fiancé and look forward to bringing her into the family. I certainly want to be totally open and honest with her... Should I tell her about my cousin who is an Obama supporter? Sincerely, Worried About My Reputation

"My elected officials stated the truth."
Do you understand what the word "truth" means? Please show some facts/truth that suppliers said they would not locate here if VW went union. Simple question.
I noticed that you did not address Mr. Corkers statement. Is that also the "truth". Please tell me what facts support this truth. It seems you have no problem accepting something as "truth" even if no proof is offered.
Your statement "My base wages should not be based on profits. I took NO financial risk in the venture." Yes you did. Your tax dollars were spent to help bring VW here and there is no guarantee they will be here next year to recoup these incentives. Thats called "risk".
"I choose when, where and how much I am willing to work for." Good for you, other people think their wages in relation to the people at the top and/or profit is worth more. Some people apparently have a higher sense of self worth than yourself.
As for Bo Watson's statement, how about we use the word misleading or perhaps disingenuous. Are you aware that Tennessee had the fastest rate of growth in union membership of any statelast year? Have you heard our lawmakers threaten incentives to these companies that employ or use union labor?
You said "YOU STILL HAVE NOT REPLIED TO MY QUESTION ABOUT THE ETHICS OF THE PATTA BROTHERS INFLUENCE"
Perhaps because you never addressed that question to me? Seems you post so much you forget who you are talking to. Jeez, get yourself organized. Here let me help you...

tifosi... do you think that Bob Corker's influence pushed workers to vote either for or against the UAW? If so, which way and to what extent?

I see what you did there, toes! Remarkable. Thanks for the link, community organizer! LMAO
dude_abides: I do not think it had any effect. The UAW had a table set up in the cafeteria and they had a large office near the productions floors for two weeks. Rarely did I see any employee at either area. I think that people had already made up their mind long before Senator Corker spoke.
I think the "United Obama Workers" billboard had the biggest effect. It made folks more aware of where their union dues would go.
The vast majority of production workers would never vote for a Democrat. They are the very essence of right-wing Republicans when they enter the polls for elections. I think many votes in this decision were more for the organization of a Works Council and not for the UAW. VW is now pursuing the creation of a Works Council without the UAW. They are talking with labor lawyers this week.
Even if the UAW gets the NLRB to set aside the results of this vote, I do not think the UAW will be allowed to campaign again inside VW. The Neutrality Agreement said that if they did not win, they could not campaign VW workers again for a year. That will be a VW decision, not the NLRB. Wolfsburg officials are very divided on the UAW and the influence could swing the other way.
So, tifosi, you agree it would have been wise for Corker and the other politicians to stay the hell out of it, so as not to give the UAW a foot in the door 'appealwise'?
DUDE you gonna wrangle around w/tifosi till he drops a nugget on ya??He just said ,IN PLAIN LANGUAGE Corker had no effect on the outcome IN HIS OPINION!!What's it take for that to sink in!!The appeal is goin nowhere!Its a done deal for the foreseeable future!!
TOES02800 said... "...mmmm.... Awesome strategy!!"
Strategy? I thought we were discussing VW. What is it I would need strategy for? Kinda silly, in that I wasn't even talking to you to begin with. You kind of 'mother-henned' your way into this thing that now requires "strategy." Any more links you need everybody to see?
Hi jesse! How you doin' buddy? Pretty day ain't it?
Me too, jesse. This has to be one of those "Top 5" days of the year. Hope mother nature doesn't drop any more nuggets on us this winter!
Jesse, don't say "plain english" to an overpaid 8th grade English teacher.
...and then came BIG J! The man with the brokeback VW. Obsessing over me?
I think that the politicians were the only way to level the playing field. The UAW had a tremendous amount of representation. Volkswagen wanted a democratic vote, but thanks to the Patta brothers influence there was NO representative voice for those that did not want the UAW in our plant. It was not democratic. It was not a level playing field. The UAW had every advantage and they still lost.
Senator Corker chose to sit on the sidelines, but the UAW insisted on provoking him. They kept telling other politicians to be like Sen. Corker and shut up. Bad idea and it back-fired on them. The UAW should have never mentioned his name.
dude_abides: You asked for my opinion using hindsight. At the time I welcomed anyone that would step up and represent the other side or the issue. It is called democracy... just not Patta style.
BTW, Sebastian Patta once told an American manager that he needed to learn German and only speak German. The manager walked out of the plant after that.
tifosi... So Corker was for letting the workers vote without his influence before he was against it?
tifosi said... "Sebastian Patta once told an American manager that he needed to learn German and only speak German. The manager walked out of the plant after that."
Is this a story that can be proven, or is it one of those "well, I heard..." stories? Does this manager have a name? I don't think you're lying, I just need more info than "there once was a man who..."
dude_ needs more info… bwahahahaha dude_ are you a union member? I need more information.
So, what's he doing now that he walked off that job? Sadly, I personally know others who've had similar problems there. They may need a union out there.
dude_abides said... ...and then came BIG J! The man with the brokeback VW. Obsessing over me?
Spoiler alert…the following will disturb many on here: Ukrainian protesters tore through towns all over their nation, ripping down statues of Vladimir Lenin, the communist dictator who had forced the Ukrainians under the Russian yoke after the Bolshevik revolution.
^^^8th Grade Social Studies lesson. Bwaha, etc.
tifosi... The union would have helped the people I personally know, silly sh!t. With their non-managerial problems, silly sh!t.
Sorry, but I have to be as tight lipped as you do about the manager you personally know that walked out when he was told he couldn't speak English. LMAO
sour grapes?? I'm glad it didn't happen. Don't want politicians blaming the union when you lose your job at VW, and you will eventually lose your job at VW. of course you will expect taxpayers to provide you with another job but hopefully by then more taxpayers will be paying attention and you will just be out of luck and a job. just pointing out next time the politicians level the playing field it may not go so good for you.
So, part of the point of this cartoon, is to blame the majority of the VW workers at the Chattanooga facility? Because, according to the vote, the majority turned out to be anti-UAW. I think people are ill-informed. There are quite a number of people that would be fine with a union, just not the UAW. A small local union would be fine to create a works-council. What can the UAW offer the employees, that VW hasn't already given them?
The UAW doesn't "make" anything. So where do they get their money? Members. And the latest member count is down below 400K. Top UAW leaders are struggling to keep their lifestyle as the financial support continues to dwindle. So much for the UAW respecting the vote of the employees.
tifosi... I'm just trying not to call you a bald faced liar, with your silly a$$ed fable. So you're convinced Corker hasn't muddled things, even though you believe the workers would have voted against the union without any external stimuli. Hard to figure your logic, since it looks like the UAW will use Corker's (and others') interference as a base for their appeal.
Please, more name calling (which you initiated), it makes me feel superior.
You don't get it, Tiffy. Dude_ is enlightened.
...and then came BIG J! The man with the brokeback VW. Obsessing over me?
tifosi... Steady on, brother. You're starting to spiral. Your right wing is losing feathers. tifosi and Corker gritting their teeth, praying for Crossblue!
More name calling... and now, prurient interest in my testes!
Dude_, did I miss your reply re your union status? Obsessing.
tifosi... you mean Schadenfreude, don't you? Oh, sh!t! Don't walk out! LMAO You can speak English here and there!
Sorry, jesse, will this be the 5 minute argument or the full half hour?
UAW President Bob King has said he realizes that any deal has to work "for our employers." Volkswagen, meanwhile, is aiding the UAW's effort to represent the workers in wage and benefits bargaining in return for a promise the union will cede its authority to a German-style "works council."
A works council is established by plant employees but paid for by the employer to negotiate factory-specific conditions, such as bonuses, daily work hours and codes of conduct. Bargaining for wages and benefits is done by an industry-level union.
This environment is intensified by the National Labor Relations Act requirement that the employer negotiate terms and conditions of employment with the workers' union as their exclusive bargaining representative. The German model of dual representation -- with an industry wide union required by law and plant-level works councils negotiating workplace terms of employment -- is inconsistent with U.S. law.
In fact, the act's broadly worded "company union" prohibition has been interpreted as barring the establishment of works councils altogether. In a 1994 case involving Electromation Inc., the NLRB, building on a 1959 Supreme Court ruling, found that the law prohibits the creation of any employer-assisted organ that engages in bilateral communications with employees on wages, hours or working conditions.
How does this legal obstacle affect the negotiations at VW's Chattanooga plant? It means that the UAW's promise to cede its authority to a German-style works council is empty. Union officials must know such an arrangement is prohibited by U.S. law; the plant's workers who think otherwise run the risk of being duped.
By Peter Schaumber - who was a chairman of the National Labor Relations Board
Any real union member should condemn the UAW for "promising to cede its authority to a German-style works council". Any VW employee that doesn't want the union to represent them should sue the company and the union for criminal conspiracy or even under the RICO laws. The both of them clearly represented falsehoods to the workers to entice them to approve the union. Somebody ought to go to jail for this con.
Jesse, like. bad penny, Alpo will turn up.
ConMan, those are all modern-English translations (most likely translated in a way to support a misguided agenda). From the KJV:
"Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived, neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves . . . shall inherit the kingdom of God."
Where's the word homosexual?
Now leave me alone and go bug someone else.
U.S. States with the lowest household median incomes:
Mississippi comes in at 50 - dead last - followed by Arkansas, Louisiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, and South Carolina. Alabama and North Carolina help round out the bottom 10.
Of the 10 highest ranked states for median income Virginia is the only southern state.
Way to go yahoos and hillbillies! You got a good thing going with your god and your guns and your freedom and for Jesus' sake keep them dad burn unions outta here! None of their dad burn business how much money you don't make or health insurance you don't got. NO SIREE! Somebody said unions are communists, right?
Most of you clowns get paid exactly what your boss says you're worth and if you don't like it go flip burgers somewhere else.
You can lead a DUMB A$$ to water but it doesn't mean he won't die of thirst.
Hey backwater, does your mom know you're a literary critic? I mean really. That sounds so, you know, like, effeminate.
Tifosi, You said Soakya had a crystal Ball, but he doesn't need one. History is a good guide: I guess you know VW came to western, PA to build the rabbit on taxpayer money and left town after 10 years. Today's car market is much more competitive and is a shrinking market. The SUV is moving toward the end of its cycle and will go the way of the minivan and NOW VW is just going to enter the market? Honestly, they are just throwing crap against the wall to see what sticks. Do you know why? Because they can. They can since they did not invest their own money. I will risk other people's money all day long. I hope I am wrong, but I know I am not. Get some good experience and get your resume ready.
You saw the massive decline in Passat sales? Those initial sales were just pipeline sales. There simply is no room for VW in the American car market on a large scale. They would never have come here if they had to spend their own money. That's what's wrong with the public/private partnership we keep hearing is so good for us.

My mother is dead, but thanks for asking.
Does your mom know you're a pretty good burger flipper?
And once again, Bro, without response you're reduced to name calling.
As far as your 'effeminate' comment:
I know you are but what am I?:
Good night, buttwater, hope the dogs at the trailer park don't keep you awake.
Sorry, Joe. We live in a deed restricted neighborhood. No trailers.
On some nights, though, the frogs sound like the Hallelujah Chorus!
Yeah Rick, the cost of living is higher up north.
They got indoor plumbing, too.
backwater. you insult the entire South, then have the balls to say I'm a name caller. Nice.
I don't hate southerns and I didn't insult the entire south.
I'm amazed how some of you guys fight so hard to keep low paying jobs without a future.
I pointed out that southern states are at the rock bottom with median household incomes and you couldn't respond to THAT so you cracked wise about my dead mom and suggest I'm gay... I guess. (Not sure what you were suggesting)
The south is great. I either owned or co-owned several businesses over the years which is how I retired early.
I'm also amazed how some of you guys see people earning more money as the enemy.

You seem to be trying to out do others here in defending the gross sin of Homosexuality/sodomy. Are you a Homosexual?
So you quote the King James translation from the original Greek. The King James was a translation for the people of that day. It uses euphemisms such "as abusers of themselves with mankind" instead of Homosexual. The King James also used the euphemism "know" for sexual relations between a man and a woman.
Furthermore, you are not even quoting the original 1611 King James. It was written in Early Modern English and is almost unrecognizable to us today.
Furthermore, scores of Biblical scholars were involved in the modern translations which I provided for you at 9:04 a.m. yesterday. You obviously don't know more than them nor do I.
You really are not very good at defending the gross sin of Homosexuality/sodomy are you?
BW posted :I pointed out that southern states are at the rock bottom with median household incomes and you couldn't respond to THAT so you cracked wise about my dead mom and suggest I'm gay... I guess. (Not sure what you were suggesting)"
I did respond and pointed out the top ten most expensive States to live in were not in the south. These States also have very high tax rates which the southern states do not have.
You said the "the south is great. I either owned or co-owned several businesses over the years which is how I retired early."
I bet you would not have been as successful in the States that are the most expensive paying higher taxes and wages to your employees either.
I don't hate southerns and I didn't insult the entire south."
You are a bigot.

GAO Report: 401(k) rollover process too confusing
Many workers are getting false or misleading information about options for their 401(k) accounts when they change jobs, congressional auditors said Wednesday in a report that urged regulators to offer consumers clearer guidance about their retirement money.
Associated Press
Many workers are getting false or misleading information about options for their 401(k) accounts when they change jobs, congressional auditors said Wednesday in a report that urged regulators to offer consumers clearer guidance about their retirement money.
The Government Accountability Office found that financial firms often encourage workers to roll over a 401(k) into an individual retirement account, or IRA, even when that might not be the best option. The report said the guidance workers currently receive is either too complex or too general, leaving them vulnerable to financial firms that may try to steer them toward IRAs with higher fees.
"Labor regulations do not ensure that 401(k) plans provide complete and timely information to participants on all their distribution options," the report said.
Workers changing jobs also have the option of leaving retirement funds in the previous employer's plan, moving funds to a new employer's 401(k), or cashing out the plan which incurs hefty taxes.
GAO undercover investigators contacted 30 firms and reported that seven incorrectly said their IRA was free or that there were no fees to open or maintain an IRA account. The report also said five of the 10 large firm Web sites that GAO reviewed claimed their IRAs were free. Fee information on the Web sites was hard to find and understand, the report found.
Democratic lawmakers say the report shows a need for stronger consumer protections in the growing 401(k) rollover market. The lawmakers - Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., and Rep. George Miller, D-Calif. - called on the Obama administration to modify rules in order to protect consumers from receiving advice that could be biased.
"Service providers should not be permitted to provide incomplete information or steer workers to company investment products," the lawmakers said in a letter to the Labor and Treasury departments.
The Investment Company Institute, a trade association for mutual fund companies, insisted that financial company affiliates managing employer retirement plans already offer workers "full information" about their rollover options, including the option to keep assets in a current 401(k) plan.
"The mutual fund industry supports these efforts and clear disclosure of all fees and expenses in connection with any rollover of assets from a 401(k) plan to an IRA," said ICI spokeswoman Rachel McTague.
Rollovers are now the largest source of contributions to IRAs, the GAO report said. More than 90 percent of funds flowing into traditional IRAs between 1996 and 2008 came from rollovers, with the vast majority coming from employer-sponsored retirement plans.

Don't forget to join our live blog tonight, plus all the performances! Thanks!
This is the best season of American Idol ever! I love this show!
Got Something to Add?
alex preston at this point will win the show. or be in the finale.
I watched the girls' night and it was bad. that last girl who got in was the only real deal among the bunch. what is happening with this show?
I'll probably just support ThaiFam. and in 5 more days, TheVoice will be back.
wow this season went from being great , to going down hill fast. get rid of the fodder that doesn't matter , and just have them all sing and let people vote. or just have people vote based on what they've seen so far to get the top 10 guys and girls. it shouldn't be up to the judges who gets into the top 10. it just seems like a giant waste of time to even have a top 15 and should have just made the cuts at the chair round. really briston imo was one of the better guys. how was he not given a chance to sing to get voted for?
They did Casey sssoooo wrong
Really sign sealed delivered .. Ugh
Ouch, I guess everyone knows now.
Now waiting for more song spoilers. :)
OMG they are really a couple. Go Jilex!
The eliminations for the guys are much better.
at least they got it right with the guys.yesterdays picks were a joke
I'm lost. How do we know who is eliminated if they aren't saying anything until the live show? The girls found out as the show went on.
Oops, I mean Casey--his bro. Still...
CJ doing Celine Dion UGH
Emmanuel Zidor is performing... blah. I hope Jordan Brisbane is out as well! And one of the country guys, but not CJ. haha.
Oh wait these are just song spoilers, so these guys may or may not sing. Hoping my favs get through. Why is Sam singing the same song. I guess he is playing it safe tonight. Well it could work. I expect him in the top 10 regardless. CJ and Alex betta sing tonight.
oh she was the filipina my friend was talking about. good job girl!
Oh wait nvm he got eliminated
Total fail Uncle PB!
if i found out i didn't make it before the live show i would just not show up. I'm sure the spoilers must have gotten to them. unless the show is tapped.
@triplej922 Someone in the idol circle has leaked all these spoilers. They are leaked even earlier today. Maybe this will help the contestants with their jitters tonight. It could be anyone reading the judges cards or whatever. lols.... I'm sure the contestants have family and friends that go on these blogs and spilling the beans.
Off topic but now I am hearing that there is a possible showmance between Jillian and Alex. hahah.... :)

I just saw this thread and thought I'd voice my opinion. I owned a Dell in HS, I got a desktop about six years ago and still have it in my room at home. I feel that I was pretty good with performing maintenance on it and keeping it in good shape, but after a couple of years it definitely slowed down significantly. At this point it is painfully slow to use. I would not recommend Dell based on my experience with it.
I currently use a MacBook, and I have been very happy with it. My MacBook is just three years old, and I have had minimal issues with it and it still runs good as new. My parents bought me this as a graduation present from HS so money was not an issue in my mind. I have had a very good experience with this Mac (runs quickly, easy to use, no major issues).
I have thought ahead to my graduating college (money likely will be a consideration when I am buying my own computer) and was wondering what my next computer will be, so I find this thread very helpful

Eruption of Hawaiin volcano reaches 10,000-day milestone
The Kilauea volcano began erupting in 1983 and it hasn't stopped.
Fri, May 21, 2010 at 05:09 PM
RECORD: Hawaii's Kilauea volcano is the world's longest continuously erupting volcano. (Photo: G. Brad Lewis, Hawaiian Volcano Observatory/AP)
The world's longest continuously erupting volcano, which has become a major attraction for scientists and tourists since it became active in 1983, has marked a milestone.
It was 10,000 days ago Friday that Kilauea Volcano began erupting on Hawaii's Big Island.
The superintendent of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Cindy Orlando, calls it "a biological and geological wonder."
The scientist-in-charge of the U.S. Geological Survey's Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, Jim Kauahikaua, says it's one of the few eruptions that can be studied up close every day.
The east rift zone vent began erupting Jan. 3, 1983, and a summit vent has been erupting since March 19, 2008.

Indians can't bowl - Where has the rumour come from as I myself and many indian friends arwe competent fast bowlers ?
With the English bid I said: Let us be brief. If you give back the Falkland Islands, which belong to us, you will get my vote. They then became sad and left
Christ is there a single thread you won't make AFL references in? Dire and boring.
geeeeeee this is a bold move by the ECB, isn't it?
Sending text messages which say how crap you think your management/colleagues are to a competing individual/firm/team/whatever would be considered a serious breach of conduct in nearly any profession. There's nothing sad at all about it.
Steyn was probably pissed that KP was making him look like a net bowler in the last test and by 'mistake' disclosed these personal texts.

He's a fantastic player, let's not deny that, but there comes a time when the management must draw a line; cliche as it is, no individual is bigger than the team. Clearly as far as Team England are concerned KP reached and then breached the line at some point during or after the second test.
Cricket Web's 2013/14 Premier League Tipping Champion
- As featured in The Independent.
"I don't believe a word of Pietersen's book, but then I don't believe a word anyone else has said either."
- Simon Barnes renders further comment on KP's autobiography superfluous in a sentence
and as I keep on saying, and it seems to be washed up with the rest, it contravenes ICC rules, which is enough reason to drop him in itself, and the Saffie players may have reported it for that reason. With their history they probably don't want to be in breach.
Its just a continuation in the history of KP's battle with modern technology. He was undone by the complexities of twitter just last year, and now it seems the slightly older more experienced foe, text messaging, has got one over him as well. These fancy gizmos are tough to tame.

text: Hannity: 'Failed' Left-wing 'Prop' Scarborough Twisted My Words Print article Send a Tip by Breitbart News 23 Jul 2013 post a comment Newsmax: Fox News Channel's Sean Hannity was making no apologies Monday for words he spoke on his radio show that drew fire from MSNBC host Joe Scarborough. "The left-wing so-called journalists, the Al Sharpton network didn't see my point -- decided to twist what I said," Hannity said on his Fox News Channel show. "It's not really worth responding to liberal Joe and his under 400,000 viewers or whatever he has," Hannity said. "His radio show failed, his TV show is failing. He's kind of sold his soul on a liberal network, and he attacks conservatives and he's used as a prop by his inside Washington pals to attack conservatives." ... In his radio comments, Hannity asked whether Obama was identifying with Martin because "he smoked pot and did a little blow" as a young man, and that "we know Trayvon had been smoking pot that night" when he confronted George Zimmerman, who shot him to death. Scarborough, on "Morning Joe" Monday said Hannity's comments were "racially intolerant." Hannity said his comments were tongue-in-cheek. Full story here.

The 10 investors were mega wealthy individuals who were important customers of the bank. In effect they were being asked to pick up the Quinn shares in Anglo Irish and Anglo was loaning them the money to do so.
Or in other words, the bank was loaning people money to buy its own shares. Which, as we said, is illegal.
We will see how all this plays out in the weeks and months ahead. But already some interesting facts have emerged in the first few days of the case.
For example, we now know that the Financial Regulator was directly involved in meetings, including a meeting with Quinn, as the situation unfolded. It is stretching credibility to believe that he did not know what was happening. Similarly with the Central Bank.
And if those guys knew what was going down, are we really supposed to believe that the senior people in the Department of Finance and the top politicians in the government had no idea what was happening?
It's hard to have any sympathy for the Anglo Irish bankers. But they're not the only ones who should be on trial.
It's also hard to have any sympathy for Quinn. Famously he was a man with simple tastes even when he was Ireland's richest man. His favorite pastime was playing cards with old friends in games where the maximum stake was a few cents.
Clearly he was way out of his depth messing with CFDs. Now all the money has gone and he has been publicly humiliated – but he only has himself to blame.

Landsat Missions
The chart below displays the number of scenes visible to all users on EarthExplorer as of July 31, 2014, and also compares the number available, to what was in the archive at the end of December 2013 and April 2014.
Active Landsat 8 and Landsat 7 acquisitions constantly increase the number of available scenes in the USGS archives; the Landsat Global Archive Consolidation (LGAC) effort has allowed more historical Landsat 1-5 MSS and TM scenes to become visible and available to all users.
This scene represents one of the path/rows from which most scenes were downloaded in July 2014.
Landsat 8 Path 62 Row 47 Acquired January 1, 2014.
This image shows a small portion of the island of Hawaii. The Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is on the southeastern edge of the island.
The entire Landsat archive became available to all users at no charge in December 2008. As of August 7, 2014 over 19 million scenes have been downloaded.

Geared For Success gear donation program launched at King of the Mountain event
Nov. 30, 2013, 2:40 p.m. (ET)USA Wrestling is proud to announce the creation of the Geared for Success program. Partnered with All-American Wrestling Supply, the program will debut at the Tour of America – King of the Mountain tournament in Castle Rock, Colo., on December 6-7.
New and gently used wrestling gear will be collected and distributed to clubs and athletes in need. Eligible donations will receive a 10% off coupon to be applied to new gear through All-American Wrestling Supply.
"Based on discussions with local officials and club leaders, I saw a need to provide underprivileged youth with the equipment to help them succeed in our sport," said Tiffany Clark, USA Wrestling's Coordinator of National Events. "Sports equipment is expensive, especially for growing athletes. I wouldn't want anyone to be turned away from wrestling because of such as issue. I am happy that All-American has joined the program and provided people with an incentive to give to others prior to the holiday season."
The gear collected at the King of the Mountain event will be distributed to clubs throughout the state of Colorado that have been identified as having a need for such items.
Equipment will also be accepted at the USA Wrestling office in Colorado Springs.
Recommended items include new or gently used wrestling shoes, running shoes, singlets, knee pads, headgear, and equipment bags.
