"Breaking News: In a landmark victory for organized labor, workers at a Volkswagen plant in Tennessee voted overwhelmingly to join the United Automobile Workers union, becoming the first nonunion auto plant in a Southern state to do so."

1. The last time they voted the governor of Tennessee...

Lobbied AGAINST the vote but Volkswagen corporation was all for it!

Good for them.

Now let’s see the Toyota Plant in Georgetown, KY and all the rest do the same.

3. If I remember correctly the Tenn-GOP threw a hissy fit

and threatened to pull their tax incentives for building there. That is why it is not a union plant at this point. Indeed, VW had no problem with going union.

2. Somebody pinch me!

I hope magafox news ups their anti-union propaganda in their knee-jerk white nationalist power-hungry fashion and starts alienating all those magafox watching union members. And those new union members will begin to realize that magafox has just been a sewage processor slinging nasty narratives unto proponents of fairness and equality. And then we'll begin to see a new phenomenon called magafox fatigue. But that may be asking for too much.

What could possibly be better?

5. Very good.

6. Workers are making historic gains right now

And no one is even paying attention. The working class hasn’t seen progress like this in generations.

None of this would be happening without Joe Biden spearheading the renewed labor movement in this country.

7. The TN GOP will strike back to cause pain to the workers, activists and companies that accept unions.

Wait for it in 5-4-3-2.........................

8. the RW rotters all over the South will strike back in fits of anti-unions rage as unions gain there

9. Biden helps this.

And no one is even paying attention. The working class hasn’t seen progress like this in generations.

None of this would be happening without Joe Biden spearheading the renewed labor movement in this country.
