Important to note that this was one of the only Volkswagen plants "in the world" to not be unionized.

This includes factories in Mexico, South Africa, and Brazil.

Just for reference only 10% of Americans are apart of a union, but sure they’re the ones with all the power in economic policy…

I never said the unions had all the power in economic policy. I said they had undue power created by government rules and laws deliberately favoring them.

That's to prevent worker uprisings, starvation, poverty, and mass shootings.

Corporations actually are not all that humane and giving if left to their own devices as seen in the late 19th century.

I posted that data in response to someone saying anyone who wanted unions to fail in expanding was a bad person. If the relevant question is what % agree with union expansion than summing together the less unions/same unions numbers makes sense.

That's not true.

They said:

People who cheer for unions to fail are bad people

Wanting unions to continue to have the same amount of influence they have now is not "cheering for unions to fail" lmao.

This is a thread about unions expanding lol. I made a comment about not wanting unions to spread into the South and that was the next comment. So the "cheer for unions to fail" bit was clearly in response to the opposing expansion in the South thing, which would include both people wanting less union influence and the same amount of union influence.

No, it wouldn't.   The question had no geographic basis to it, you're just making stuff up now.   "Same influence as they do now" doesn't mean the people don't want higher union rates in the South.  That's some twisted logic to come to that conclusion.
