Unions vs Associations & the U.S. Supreme Court

One of the great things about our judicial system is that if you are right or wrong anyone with enough money can get heard at the final stop in the court system. The U.S. Supreme Court and, this is good except when our unbiased Supreme Court is not unbiased, such as it is now. For now the injustices that are being imposed upon our citizens, women’s rights and union workers do not dare go to court for fear their case may end up in the Supreme Court with a final decision that is ruled against women’s and union rights.

We must get the Supreme Court back to an unbiased court. How do we do this? Keep a friendly president in office with a congress and senate that backs the president. In the meantime we will not have the legal process to help us so we will just have to work on winning the public’s opinion with the truth and the consequences of the GOP against the middle class and retired people.

Remember the Supreme Court giveth and Supreme Court taketh away.

And then consider ...

Why are unions getting a bad rap? Most all professions have association to protect themselves. What’s the difference between a union and an association? They both pay dues. Businesses have the chamber of commerce, doctors have medical associations (unions), lawyers have bar associations (unions) and manufacturers have the manufacturing association (unions). Football is a totally social program. The players have a union and the owners split the money earned among the owners. Both unions and associations have political action committees.

So the only thing I can think of to explain the bad press unions are receiving is a class issue (class warfare) on the working middle class families.

We used to be proud to wear our union hats, putting union bumpers stickers on our bumpers, but the GOP antiunion have spun the talk until a lot of uninformed people now think unions are to blame for all the money problems, and not paying attention we have let the antiunion people (GOP) take our name (union), and vilify it. The antiunion organizations still have their unions with different names for the same thing.

So to change this we have to understand how and why this happened. The how is just like the school yard give someone a bad name spin it until it takes hold. Then they or it will have the brand. So we must start branding the GOP’s anti-workers message with what they are doing with us, and they, the GOP, are now going after the older population’s Medicare and Social Security. We have to call the GOP out on these social issues for what they are, Class Warfare.

So what does this all mean? The Supreme Court and all the associations listed above are working against the working class and labor unions.

May Day 2028 or Sooner

Unions’ long game is to get all union contracts to expire on the same day nationwide. The United Auto Workers combines contracts ends on April 28, 2028. This could then result in a mass national strike starting on May Day beeginning that year. This could then put enormous pressure on employers, but also on lawmakers. It’s the muscle and sweat of the workers that keeps this country great, not the individual company or corporations. This May Day strike would be the time to change the workers’ world for the better by negotiating for a 32-hour week with the same pay, and the U.S. adopts a healthcare for all with no out of pocket costs. This would also help the employers as they would no longer have to provide healthcare. By striking, the UAW won same pay for new workers, all UAW contracts will end on the same date, a 25-percent pay increase, a cost of living adjustments, a guaranteed right to strike over potential plant closures, and also the right to vote to unionize through the card che

Standing At The Precipice

Unions do not do well in a dictatorship because unions are the first thing dictators destroy, and rest assured the workers won’t be allowed to hit the streets in protest. If Trump is elected he will invoke the Insurrection Act and send troops into the cities to crush them and send a message that he will terminate and dissent. They will eliminate unions and unionized workers. We are standing at the precipice and it's up to us to fight the fall into a dictatorship. By voting for the GOP, maga people and anyone else will be able to keep their guns until Trump says, “No.” By then, he will have already amassed an Army of foot soldiers in place to take over the government jobs. They will be Trump’s people and they will do whatever he tells them to do. The only way this can be stopped is for all unions and their members to put aside their political and social differences and stand strong for democracy, unions, workers rights and workers safety. This is not a drill. It will happen just loo

“Workampers” are the New IWW Wobblies

We now have another organization that will enhance the wage pollution for the wage slaves. Walmart started the wage pollution and then temporary agencies, which offer no healthcare or pensions, just temporary low wages. Now we have the online U.S. retail business, which did $197 billion in 2011. The workforce that does the work in these hundreds of warehouses are called “workampers.” Amalgamated advertises positions on websites that workampers frequent. This is just a modern version of what the old Wobblies had to do in the 1920s and ‘30s; only then, instead, of traveling from place to place living in trailers and motorhomes they rode railroad freight cars and camped in hobo camps called the Jungle, which we still have. The reason that the warehouse owners like workampers is they are temporary and will not stay year round that way by not staying in one place the workers do not have time to make friends, which could start unions. This is an old way to keep unions out for if people w
