Bringing jobs to faltering economy of TN isn't important to Haslam. The money he gets to keep them out, are. The people however, are fighting back
The cover story for not expanding Medicaid is that 3 years from now, Tennessee cannot afford approximately $250,000 more to continue Medicaid after the 100 percent federal subsidy expires.
So we cannot afford $250,000 in the future, but this year we can afford $300,000 for anti-labor purposes. That's Republican thinking in this state.
The VW plant and the 1350 jobs probably don't come close to repaying a tenth of that $300 mil being extracted out of taxpayer hides...so basically this is a direct gigantic giveaway of taxpayer money to a corporation solely to push a petty anti-union ideology...
Republican threats amount to destroying the present if we don't allow them to destroy the future too.
the VW employees and even the company itself sought certification of the union in order to have a works council in the first place.

In doing so it surely looks like VW and the UAW violated Section 8 of the National Labor Relations Act and will live to regret it.

the undue influence your GOPer friends used to derail that effort,

Surely we wouldn’t want to discuss the illegal collusion between the UAW and VW.
Go to the below link and read the neutrality agreement between the UAW and VW. It is a very unique and telling document signed by both big labor and a international corporate behemoth. http://www.nooga.com/165337/agreement...

No. he is just another anti labor that fortunately for him does not have to work in an automated factory. If you think all the robots in a modern factory are painted yellow and live on electricity, think again. People in a factory need a union to represent their interests and to keep the job from completely dehumanizing them.
FWIW - I worked in a factory for a while but I was eventually able to do something else.

Constitents, learn who your enemy is here. Its important now.
this smells of a rewrite to history, wasnt it the VW plant employees that voted down unionization? and if the company and the UAW violated the law in trying to get a union into the plant, then the union needs to be admonished, along with the company, for that effort, and the employees voting down the union is one step of that admonishment.
We can love or hate anyone for the same things, based solely on political party. As such, it's tough to accept a partisan rant about any politician's performance in office.
Rachel Maddow has created the first one woman show about a 3 day traffic jam, spending more time covering it than it took in hours. If she did each second of the traffic jam, second by second, she'd be over it by now.
Having had the dubious advantage of having driven over the GW bridge, it occurs to me ANYTHING can cause a traffic jam on that bridge. It's usually a miracle when there isn't a traffic jam on it.

I worked in a factory for years in Tennessee. No union. No possibility of a union. Did just fine representing myself and was never dehumanized.
If you aint man enough to take care of yourself and need to pay someone else to help you so be it. Most of us aint p*ssies.

That's Republican thinking in this state.
