Automotive News took a look at the UAW s bizarre effort at flying Nissan workers from Canton, along with members vacation rentals in hawaii of the Mississippi Alliance for Fairness at Nissan (MAFFAN), which is apparently an organization representing clergy, elected officials, civil rights activists and students , to help hand out leaflets and raise awareness about the efforts to bring collective bargaining to Canton.
the civil rights fight of our time – the right to have a free and fair election process, one without fear. We are bringing Mississippi to Geneva to let Nissan know that what is happening in Mississippi is unacceptable.
Aside from the myriad causes that one could conceivably argue as being the civil rights fight of our time , depending on one s political leanings, the UAW s attempts to organize Canton are ultimately a local issue, particular to American labor relations. Yet the UAW decided to spend what must be an excessive sum (and I know this having gone to Geneva to cover the Auto Show in the past. Bertel and others who have gone can also vouch for this) to send UAW staffers, union organizers and a small number of Canton, Miss. employees to Geneva to engage in a protest that is inconsequential to nearly everyone attending the show. Meanwhile, the cost of flights (expensive), hotels (insanely vacation rentals in hawaii expensive, if one can even be found), meals (a cup of coffee will run $7-$8 alone), rental cars and any other expenses incurred will undoubtedly add up to a hefty bill.
This may not be the last of it either. According to AN the Geneva protest underscored how the union intends to hound Nissan at international venues , suggesting that jet-set junkets under the guise of social justice campaigns may be the new normal for the UAW and their allies. Then again neither is it UAW President Bob King s first foray into silly publicity stunts or international labor matters . I can t imagine that many UAW members are too thrilled about where their dues are going, nor is a world tour for King and his cronies a great recruiting tool to organize transplant employees.
Oh, I think the current state of affairs the world over is more or less settled. vacation rentals in hawaii Capitalists have won, workers vacation rentals in hawaii be damned. There s little risk of that. Not saying it would be good or bad, mind you, but I think a little balance is always good.
Someone should point out to the useful idiots recruited by organized crime in the Nissan shop parking lot that $8 Cokes are the natural result of successful unionization. Meanwhile, Nissan should be free to fire anyone that played a part in this farce.
Firing them for not appreciating their jobs and working to harm their employers is for good cause in my book, but that isn t required in a right to work state. As reasons for kicking people to the curb go, this one s pretty great. Maybe they should administer an IQ test during the hiring process so this sort of thing can be avoided.
vacation rentals in hawaii I have a feeling the $ 8 Coke in Geneva has a lot more to do with the value of the Swiss franc than with the power of the Swiss unions . The price of everything in Switzerland is and usually always has been ridiculous compared to everywhere else now more than ever due to the declining Euro . Prices were unbelievably high thirty years ago when I stayed in Geneva for a few weeks I think even back then a Coke was over $ 5 could be more than $ 8 by now . The friend I stayed with there got tired of the high prices and transferred to Paris , partly because vacation rentals in hawaii it was much cheaper .
I can absolutely confirm that Geneva is obscenely expensive during normal times, during Auto Salon times it is hard-core vacation rentals in hawaii pornographically expensive. It is so expensive that even when I was the chief of an advertising agency that was raking it in, I stopped going after one truly shocking visit, and I sent my partner alone.
To the UAW a free and fair election involves Card Check, where they are free to single out no voters and then fairly beat them to death. No fair keeping voting secret! A group of thugs big enough to coerce everyone without knowing who the holdouts are wouldn t come free!
When I thought the whole issue was about increasing membership and dues, it simply vacation rentals in hawaii didn t make sense. Now that I understand that it s a human rights crusade , it falls under the heading of we re on a mission from God . That s an entirely different thing.
I ve already suggested that it might be time for the UAW to, oh let s say, CHANGE YOUR BUSINESS MODEL! Your competition (non-union shops) are giving the same or better wages and benefits without all the hassles. Perhaps a focus on providing vacation rentals in hawaii value for the dues dollar (in the eyes of the dues payer) is in order.
Similarly, most union rank and file would be outraged if they knew that AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka was a member of Joe Biden s gun ban task force, and is out flacking for amnesty for illegal aliens (whose ever growing vacation rentals in hawaii ranks of cheap labor inevitably has a downward pull on wages overall after all, supply and demand vacation rentals in hawaii works with labor compensation too).
