Here is a story of Union Decertification, Be careful what you wish for. This woman's home was destroyed after she voted in good faith to decertify her union. I guess the Union cronies who were no longer getting checks had her whacked.
By the way this union was decertified. I just wish my grandfather could have realized this was the answer to the union he belonged to.
The Monroe County (TN) home of a woman who crossed a picket line at Maremont Exhaust Products this year was vandalized Tuesday, causing damages totaling $20,000 to $30,000.
The company called it an "act of domestic terrorism." According to a Monroe County Sheriff's Department incident report, the vandalism was probably related to an eight-month strike at Maremont in Loudon County.
The vandalized home belongs to Della Thomas, who crossed the picket line and backed the dissolving of International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, Local 2545. In October, the National Labor Relations Board effectively dissolved the union after workers and strikers voted 223 to 141 to decertify the union.
