Oligarchies Fail the World

The oligarchies blame everything and everyone on the failure of the world’s financial system on big government, high taxes, unions, high wages, environmental laws, healthcare, Social Security and minimum wage, but the oligarchy capitalists are the people who have failed the world by their own greed. They shipped our jobs overseas to low wage countries, which has destroyed the buying power of the toilers.

They are hell bent on driving down the wages, such as the big box stores like WalMart and Target. Their policies have plotted to decrease the wage scale to the point where the wage slaves just accept this and have no extra money to buy extras or go on vacation. The capitalists also succeeded in protecting their interests by electing people who will not and did not enact financial laws that protect the financial system from greed and lawlessness. Again, the wage slaves are victimized by the 1 percent.

This is not the fault of the government system and the wage slaves. It is the people who have control of the money and they are not the 99 percent, in fact, it is the 1/10 percent of the 1 percent, the 1/10 of the 1 percent has so much money that they are just bored with their spending.

The oligarchies just want power and have started buying politicians and influencing the government process, which they have been very successful at this. Until they start running out of cash or are made to change thing -- things will be slow to change unless we make them.
We need to start rebuilding our infrastructure, pay down our debt, rebuild our armed forces and get our workers educated. Until we get rid of the temporary working force and get back to full-time jobs at 40 plus hours a week with good living wages, pensions and healthcare, we won’t regain the strength that our country is known for.

This spring the 99 percent must demand that the temporary jobs start going away and the oligarchies start hiring workers and paying them a living wage.

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
