No fan of labor unions and especially not the UAW but this is often the case when union members reject labor contracts containing what sounds like 'juicy' economic packages... Ironically, the liberal news media reports the juicy stuff to the general public but rarely ever details the critical issues.
From what I've read Deere is trying to get them to give up pensions, that's why it keeps getting voted down. As usual the media puts out a bunch of slanted BS and leaves out the real story.
