...Chattanooga’s business community grew alarmed last September when the U.A.W. asked VW for union recognition, saying a majority of the plant’s 1,600 assembly workers had signed cards seeking union representation. The business community reacted with further dismay when several Volkswagen officials from Germany visited the plant and hinted that it would be good to have a labor union because that would help establish a German-style works council. Such councils, comprising managers and representatives of white-collar and blue-collar workers, seek to foster collaboration within a factory as they forge policies on plant rules, work hours, vacations and other matters. Yeah, that Social Democracy, its all efffed up, yo. (But of course, its the usual alliance of Crackers, Teabaggers, Birchers and Koch Suckers wanting to insert themselves between labor and management. If you dont find that ironic, you have no sense of irony.)
