“UAW Busting, Southern Style”
Foreign carmakers are enlisting the help of GOP senators from states in the South to break the union.

The foreign nonunion auto companies located in the South have a plan to reduce wages and benefits at their factories in the United States.  And to do it, they need to destroy the United Auto Workers.

Last week, Senate Republicans from some Southern states went to work trying to do just that, on the foreign car companies’ behalf.  Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) and Sen. Richard C. Shelby (R-Ala.) -- representatives from states that subsidize companies such as Honda, Volkswagen, Toyota and Nissan -- first tried to force the UAW to take reductions in wages and benefits as a condition for supporting the auto industry bailout bill.  When the UAW refused, those senators torpedoed the bill.
