Cameron Harrison at People’s World reports from Glendale, Kentucky: In the battle between the United Auto Workers (UAW) and the forces of Corporate Greed and Union-Busting, BlueOval SK (BOSK) has been forced to withdraw all its objections to the Union Election held this past August. This capitulation by the Trans-National Joint Venture removes the largest legal barrier to certification and is a direct result of the unbreakable unity and determination of the Workers in the Plant. Since the election was held in August, BOSK filed eight objections to the conduct of the election. One such claim was that Election Staff “rolled their eyes” at a prospective voter. The withdrawal of these objections paves the way for the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) to officially certify the election results, a process now believed to be imminent, Workers report. The NLRB can now move on in the certification process to the challenged ballots, which the Union maintains were an illegitimate corporate tactic to “flood the Unit and undermine the outcome.” “This decision by the company is a direct result of the solidarity and courage shown by the Workers,” Derek Dougherty, a Module Production Worker and UAW Organizing Committee Member at BOSK, told People’s World. “From the moment we filed for our Union, we have stood united against a relentless campaign of delays, opposition and harassment. This step forward is a victory for every Worker who dared to stand up and demand a voice and a better future.”
