they include tennessee's governor bill haslam and u.s. senator bob corker. "we've had several businesses that have told us if the uaw come in, it would dampen their enthusiasm for tn." senator corker's comments at a news conference this week, came from this edited video posted online by the chattanooga times free press. "it's something that would hurt the standard of living of people here in tn, because businesses are not going to want to locate here." and opposition has grown. "some billionaire conservatives such as americans for tax reform, grover norquist's group are taking out ads saying, don't do this." the voting in chattanooga concludes friday evening football players at northwestern university are moving the ball forward in their effort to form a union. the case could have larger implications for college athletes.players for the wildcats filed a union election petition with the national labor relations board january 28th.it's the first from a college sports team seeking union protection.at an nlrb hearing yesterday-- an attorney representing the univ

by led by republican lawmakers including tennessee senator bob corker of tennessee governor bill haslam worked like a charm it's hard to see just how many votes corker has the other conservatives took away from the u.a.w. but there's no question that there are scare tactics had a huge impact on that election by threatening to take away volkswagens tax incentives of workers approve the union and by warning that a pro union vote would scare volkswagen away from building its new s.u.v.s in town and see neither which might have been true anti-union crowd apparently so frighten the small number of workers that they provided the margin for the u.a.w. to lose the vote. tragically in this era of declining union membership an anti worker fervor. a failed aloon you know election is not all that surprising union busting has become a two billion dollar a year industry and employers routinely bring in union busting insults and forced workers to watch their videos and listen to their scary pitches this time it was supposed to be different. works councils are popular with employers across the pond and

while governor bill haslam spoke out, volkswagen remained neutral throughout. even allowing the united auto workers into the plant during the process. >> between the two institutions, volkswagen and the uaw, i know of not one incident of any congregation or animosity -- aggression or animosity coming out of this process. >> while outraged with politicians and outside interest groups towards forming a union, we are proud of these workers. erica ferrari k blgz a, al jazea america. >> bob thank you for joining us today. >> thanks for having me. >> how big a defeat was it for the uaw? >> it was a pretty big setback. as your report noted, this was viewed as perhaps the uaw's best chance ever have to organize a foreign-owned auto plant in the south. they had a company, volkswagen that was officially neutral, was actually very accommodating. had agreed to let uaw organizers on the property. did not do what other companies in this situation had done, like bringing antiunion organizers cajole workers why they should join the union. it's unionized everywhere else in the

>> i think for governor haslam, for senator corker, the republicans, it is a win/win/win.y pleased their base by been tough for the unions. second, i think they do have a concern for if the union comes in it will hurt the business climate and figure, we might as well try to keep the union out. third, i think they see the uaw -- if the uaw were to win, it would be this powerful, liberal force getting its nose under the tent and helping democrats in tennessee and they want to do as much as they can to help keep the democrats from having any resurgence in tennessee. win/win/win for republicans and going after the union. i think the uaw might of been more effective in several ways. when you're trying to organize in the south, and you want to win strategically, you have to do -- work every angle to maximize the chances. this one very impressive antiunion worker mike burton ran this very elaborate website and i think a lot of people paid a lot of attention to it. i don't think the uaw website began to compare. elk had a good story saying the uaw should have reached out more to c

governor haslam in tennessee welcomed baretta into his state. we invited magpul into texas. so you are seeing a shift of these manufacturers out of states that don't want them there. and i think that is an appropriate move and an appropriate conversation for us to have, and you are absolutely right about the tenth amendment and the states. i know these governors will make decisions that are best for their citizens. now, we compete against each other and that's good. >> i've got to wrap this section up, but we'll come back to it. i know you have something to say. but i got to ask you a quick wrap-up question. it just really takes a yes or a no. i'm not even going to ask you to raise your hands. would any of you here today like to rule out running for president in 2016? governor pence? would you rule it out? >> i haven't spent one second thinking about any job other than the one -- >> so much quicker than that, yes or no. you are the self-described dark horse. do you disagree with that? >> i'm focused on indiana, candy. >> no. >> no, you won't rule yourself out? >> i'm focused

phil, i can't help but look at the republican opposition on this and corker and haslam, and it seemsas fear of the uaw becoming a political force in tennessee, that that was his primary motivation. but what was the motivation on the side of the uaw to organize? what was the motivation of the 600-plus foal bes who did want the uaw to represent them in talks with volkswagen? >> well, you have to keep in mind that volkswagen has a structure as a corporation that with every one of its facilities around the world, and they've got more than 100, that they have some type of a works council, basically a union, and at each plant, that union is part of the works council, able to communicate with management in terms of, hey, here's what's working at the plant, here's what we can do in the future to improve operations. so volkswagen wants some type of a works council slash union at this facility in chattanooga. for the workers voting for the uaw, they're saying, we need one eventually, the uaw has a long history of auto unions, why not join them. >> so what you're saying this was a rejection of
