Life has a funny way of teaching you painful lessons. We remember those lessons and avoid the same obstacles and circumstances where we once were burned. No one touches the glowing burner on a stove after they have done it once.

The United Auto Workers union, however, refuses to process that same logical impulse that tells us to stop. They keep reaching out and getting burned. Once again, workers from an automotive manufacturing facility have rejected the UAW. By an almost 2-to-1 ratio this month, Nissan workers in Mississippi clearly sent the union a message, rejecting union rhetoric they have been buried with over the past few months. After numerous losses and millions of dues wasted over the past decade, most of us would take the hint.
