It's Alabama. What did people expect? That being said, the votes were kind of close.

As weird as a thing this is to say, this is actually a good thing because more car manufacturers will keep coming to Alabama now, a lot were planning on making moves if this passed and going to Mexico, etc. which would have really hurt the economy. I grew up in that state and its a shithole and needs all the help it can get.

I have family that works out there and most of the people were already going to vote against it that actually work for MB-USA, they are actually treated quite well and have good benefits and retirement without the help of a union. Most of the problems come from the temp agencies and they need to work on that.

If you're the type of person to vote against your best interests in a situation like that, you should just be replaced with automation.

A majority of the plant is already automated believe it or not. The tours are quite cool.

To many southerners, unions are associated with liberals and Democrats so they're hated just as much. They're stupid and brainwashed. They're glad to be exploited and die for rich people.

This is disappointing in the wake of the victory at Volkswagen, which felt like a potential watershed moment for the UAW in the south. The struggle continues.

Yep unions are considered the devil in the South, but still this one felt like it was gaining enough traction to pull it off.

Fixed that for you.
