#1 "Gov. Kay Ivey (R-AL) voiced her pleasure for the workers’ decision, saying the "workers in Vance have spoken, and they have spoken clearly! Alabama is not Michigan, and we are not the Sweet Home to the UAW."

First gallant South Carolina nobly made the stand
Then came Alabama and took her by the hand
Next, quickly Mississippi, Georgia, and Florida
All raised on high the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star, (Hurrah)
Hurrah! Hurrah!

For Southern rights, hurrah!
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star

#2 "Join UAW and get higher salary until the plant closes" doesn't work anymore?

The data reflects UAW unionizing a factory, many times results in that automaker opening a plant in a NAFTA location, then closing the US Factory location down to avoid the costs of always increasing UAW labor and production control demandss.

Eg. 2023 figures indicate the UAW membership is now only about 1/3 of what it was about 10 years ago.

Then there is the question of the UAW leadership donating $$$ Millions to political and social causes the Rank-n-File do not support.

#4 ...Fear not; I'm sure the NLRB will keep ordering votes until the UAW wins.
