So let me get this straight: The United Auto Workers is about protecting the worker, but only in its specific view of worker protection.
OK, great.
If you needed any more reason to be wary of the UAW’s strong-armed attempts to grease its wheels and fatten its pockets here, well, here’s hoping you were paying attention earlier this week. This newspaper’s business ace Mike Pare – who, by the way, is the go-to source for all things Volkswagen – informed all of us that the UAW has termed the American Council of Employees as “anti-union.”
Did we mention that the American Council of Employees is a labor group looking to give VW workers a choice, even recognized by VW as such, but apparently that’s not union enough for the Grand Poobah of unions that is the UAW?
This seems more like the UAW trying to monopolize Chattanooga rather than representing the VW employees.
