"On the eve of a vote on union representation at Volkswagen's Tennessee factory, Gov. Bill Lee and five other southern governors are telling workers that voting for a union will put jobs in jeopardy
Lee said in a statement that Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves, South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott have signed on to the statement. The offices of Abbott, Ivey, Kemp and Reeves confirmed their involvement, and McMaster posted the statement on his website."
When you have a system where corporate interests can use their leverage to make this happen this is not a surprise. This country has a long history of the people believing that it is the fault of their peers rather than the wealthy elite for all the woes of the nation. This is just one more example of the sort of messaging that pushes that mindset.
