    Fuck those governors.

    After watching Balls of Steel Fain take on Detroit and bring them to their knees, doubling worker pay, yea, Id let him negotiate for me.

    I don’t even build cars and I’d vote for that guy for to be president. He’s done more for more families than 95% of Congress. He’s represented more Americans, by actually looking out for their interests, than 99% of politicians in DC.

    He’s called for a general strike in 28. Gonna be a good time. If that interests you, and if you get paid with a paycheck then it should, work on building up mutual aid networks between now and then.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Addressing the watch party crowd after the tally was complete, Fain welcomed the Volkswagen workers into the UAW and thanked them for their perseverance.

    Noting voter turnout of 83.5%, the German automaker issued a short statement saying: “Volkswagen thanks its Chattanooga workers for voting in this election.”

    “I believe it would be a big mistake for those workers to risk their future by giving up the freedom to decide it themselves and hand that over to a negotiator on their behalf,” said Tennessee Gov.

    On Tuesday, Lee joined governors from Texas, South Carolina, Mississippi, Georgia and Alabama in a joint statement speaking out against the union drive.

    “Let me be clear to the Republican governors that tried to undermine this vote: there is nothing to fear from American workers using their voice and their legal right to form a union if they so choose,” he wrote.

    In a Q&A on its website, Volkswagen wrote: “We respect our employees’ right to decide this important issue through a democratic process and to determine who should represent their interests.”
