Always a bad sign when people vote against unionization of their workforce. With the benefits of having a union(better pay, pension plan) you will be better off than what you will be getting at the rate you are working. Hope unions will continue campaigning in the deep red South, because to revitalize labor in the US we need to target the right to work states run by enemies of the worker. You can't have worker solidarity in one region without having the backing of the rest of the nation.
The south has long time been antiunion, even when they kind of supported fiscal progresivism in the 1930s.
"Fiscal progressivism" that transfers wealth from the Northern middle class via federal taxes to build bridges and dams and roads in the South that they could and should have built themselves is not progressivism. It's just regionalist welfare chauvinism.
