Poor Boys

In my opinion:

Tennessee political leadership sells anti labor message. VW wishes ignored.

What would one expect from a culture wherein the populace is easily manipulated by their betters. Often against their own morality and interests

Poor white boys die to protect their better’s capital (slave property) interests

Their masters speak

Bob Corker, the Tennessee senator is a classic pro-business Southern conservative, who made a fortune in the construction and real estate industry

Corker's bombshell, which runs counter to public statements by Volkswagen, was dropped on the first of a three-day secret ballot election of blue-collar workers at the Chattanooga plant whether to allow the UAW to represent them. Corker has long been an opponent of the union which he says hurts economic and job growth in Tennessee [Governor] Haslam, has been an outspoken critic of UAW’s involvement in efforts to represent employees at what is the United States’ only Volkswagen plant.

You can bet the house that Corker and Haslam’s wealth is far higher than than most residents of the 6th poorest state in the nation. Tennessee joins Alabama and Mississippi, two other bastions of anti unionism, in the race to become the poorest states in the USA
