Wamp, GOP officials undermine union vote
What were Mayor Wamp and his Republican friends thinking by politicizing and interfering in the democratic — note the small “d” — union movement taking place at the local Volkswagen facility? Their attempt to undermine the workers’ legally protected organizing was shameful and once again shows that the GOP is no friend of working families.
The history of organized labor is a proud one. Unions built this nation. They championed everything from workplace safety to retirement security and continue to be the strongest safeguard of workers’ rights. In fact, Americans’ approval of unions is at its highest point since the mid-1960s, according to a 2022 Gallup poll.
The Hamilton County Democratic Party believes that the decision to unionize or not should be left to the VW workers, not to “Mayor Silver Spoon” and those who stood with him in that disgraceful display of arrogance and entitlement.
