In reply to the discussion: Mercedes-Benz workers in Alabama vote against unionizing in blow to big UAW push [View all]FeelingBlue

I think there is an anti-union position among fundy Christians. I never learned why and cant imagine why. But sure, Alabama! Keep supporting whats best for your boss income. Sacrificing for the boss is the new orange.
