Corker's promise of free ice cream to auto workers still unfulfilled

[Capt. Obvious]

Friday marks the end of the two-week period within which U.S. Sen. Bob Corker promised Volkswagen would announce another line at its factory in Tennessee if workers there rejected representation by the United Auto Workers union.

So far, there's little sign of any pending announcement.

....

"If the UAW is voted down they're going to come here immediately, within a two week period, and affirm they're going to build a line here," Corker told The Associated Press the day before the conclusion of the three-day vote.

The Senator also dismissed the repeated claim by Volkswagen that a decision about whether to build a new SUV either in Chattanooga or at a plant in Mexico was unrelated to the union vote.

"There is no way I'd put out statement like I put out unless I was 1,000 percent that it was accurate in every way," Corker said at the time.

Corker should now promise them that if they can make 15,000 VW's in a month they'll all get raises and job security.

1. Huh. So the workers in Chattanooga were done in by 8th Grade Campaign Promises . . .

"Vote for me and there'll be no homework! Recess will last all day! And free ice cream for all!"

Discernment. There's the watchword for the week (and the key to a better future in Tennessee -- and elsewhere).

2. Corker has responded

he put out a statement saying "I say a lot of things."
