Why the Presidency & Supreme Court matter to the worker

Does the person who is president matter when it comes to the detriment of the average worker? Yes, it does matter. The president is the one who selects the candidates for the U.S. Supreme Court; and remember, the Supreme Court giveth and taketh away.
Examples of this ‘give and take’ that have hurt the workers include: 
The 2000 Supreme Court ruling that gave George W. Bush the presidency over Al Gore
The 2010 Supreme Court ruling that gave Citizens United aka corporations the same status as a person and that corporations could give unlimited political campaigns contributions without revealing the source.
In 1959, the Supreme Court invoked the Taft-Hartley Act against steel workers. 
In 1938, the Supreme Court rules that sit-down strikes are illegal.
In 1924, the Supreme Court ruled that child-labor laws were unconstitutional.
In 1915, the Supreme Court upholds ‘yellow dog contracts,’ which forbids membership in Labor Unions.
In 1905, the Supreme Court held that a maximum hours law unconditional.
In 1898, the Supreme Court invalidated the Erdman Act, which had given railroad workers the right to strike and belong to a union.
While some of these were reversed, it’s unclear at this time with the Supreme Court we have now how long it will be before the Supreme Court reverses the remainder of the workers’ protections. Today, we know about the attack on the unions in 14 states, how many know that Missouri legislators are trying to weaken the child labor laws? The last resort for a court  case is the Supreme Court.

Hopefully, these examples show why the office of the presidency is so important to the working class.
A search of the Internet or library would provide more information and examples that dates back to the 1700s.

Time for an Offense

There are three phases of a general strike and unions must plan for one. Those three phases are: 1. general strike in an industry 2. general strike in a community 3. general national strike We need to move away from being on the defensive and move toward a good offensive. The American Federal of Labor (AFL) could not have held a general strike if it wanted to because they had thousands of different contracts that expired at different times of the year. This was done deliberately so that there is no consolidation of power for a general strike. Also, nowadays, there is no law agency that will support labor, except the National Labor Relations Board (NLBR), which has been under attack and in decline for years. This leaves the burden of change up to unions, and unless unions work together, little will change. We essentially have a combination of job trusts, which are not as strong as contracts, and the courts can break easily because the NLBR will be further weakened and essentially elim...

If Gompers Could Do It, We Can Do It

Labor must vote for the person who will support and vote for labor’s best interests. And in turn, labor members have to support those who are running for office who support labor unions and vote down ballots. Voting down ballot gives the person at the top more power to do what’s best for us. This includes elections for city, county and state positions, as well. If you think a four day work week is wishful thinking, remember workers had to fight for an eight-hour work day and a five-day work week. We, labor members and supporters, need to find people who can fight and win. We need to clean the Congress and Senate of the old Democratic guard who have voted repeatedly to hold the working class back while enriching themselves. This would rebuild solidarity in a magnitude greater than anything either party has seen or offered in the last fifty years. If we can bring about the change in the ruling class we can improve all of our lives. This would be the start of the end of the tyranny of the...

Shock Troops

Gerrymandering is the only legal form of voter theft. Workers, our long range plans should involve 1. crushing Citizens United; and 2. getting rid of the Electoral College. We have been trying to get rid of the electoral college since 1876, and we are still waiting for the revolt. Our unions need to start training some members to be our shock troops and if all unions would do this and work with our local Labor Councils, it would be a good start. Our members need to know our labor laws, local laws, and learn how to protest in the streets if necessary. The antiunion people like Trump, Musk and his billionaire friends work together to crush the working people and convince workers they’re doing them a favor and then use them as shock troops against unions and their workers. All union and nonunion working people must come together and work together to protect what we have now. Labor Councils have retired union members and they could work together to prepare to bring the movement forward....
