At the end of this week two teams of Oregon School Employees Association members, an extension of the American Federation of Teachers, will head south in an attempt to convince teachers in Louisiana, New Mexico and Texas that the best way to kick off the school year would be to instigate a union organizing drive. Best for who? Certainly not the kids. 
Continuing their pattern for attacking southern manufacturers, the Auto Workers now have Hyundai in their sights. Late last month the union sent members to Hyundai facilities across the country to spew degrading accusations at an organization that has employed thousands of American workers during its 10 years of operation in the U.S. Hyundai responded to UAW’s classic accusations of low wages and unsafe working conditions with the following statement: 
“The health and safety of workers associated with the manufacturing of Hyundai vehicles in paramount. Our contracts with suppliers require them to be in full compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.” The UAW should be careful how hard they attack organizations that improve America’s economy or Hyundai will follow the lead of Ford and GM and move work to Mexico.
