Remember when the United Auto Workers tried to organize a Volkswagon plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and suffered what the Obamedia guffaw-inducingly painted as a "stunning" defeat? Remember their defiant, Charlie Brown-esque vow that they'd be back and next time they'd win for sure?:
Shortly after the vote was announced, Gary Casteel, the UAW's regional director, vowed that the union would continue to work to unionize the plant. "We're not quitting on this," he said.
"It's unfortunate that there were outside influences," he added, referring to efforts made by Corker and the Center for Worker Freedom, a group led by conservative crusader Grover Norquist, which put up thirteen anti-union billboards in the area....
Yeah, well, don't tell anybody, but the UAW is....quitting on this.
Which is to say, the UAW will focus on bludgeoning its way into the Mercedes-Benz plant in Alabama or the Nissan plant in Mississippi, and then circle back around to bag VW-Chattanooga. Or at least that's what they've convinced themselves they're going to do. Gary Casteel may believe that he's reenacting General William T. Sherman's march through the South, but professionally speaking, he's already gone the way of Stonewall Jackson.
