GOP Usurping Laws of the Land

The Have Nots Used to Haves and Have Littles fight for opportunity and wage inequality has a new threat. The GOP has found a way to take away the courts, which could rule in favor of the little people or in favor of a labor disagreement. How? By usurping the laws of the land. Just take a look at what Kansas Governor Sam Brownback told his state Supreme Court that if they did not rule the way he wants he will stop funding for the entire court system. If the people think they can use their vote to rectify this atrocity think again. Brownback is one step ahead of the proletariats. He just passed a law that gives Secretary of State Kris Kobach the power to prosecute whoever he thinks has committed voter fraud even if they did not. This is just to send a message that if a voter has any doubt about their voter identification to vote this will stop a lot of potential voters from even going to the polls. The GOP in other states are watching and will probably try the same thing. So this is why workers trying to start unions should just try to form workers unions and stay away from 100 percent vote and just take who wants to join and pay dues then will be protected under the concerted effort law, which means if two people or one person says the word “we” as in “we would like a raise” or some safety thig taken care of, the worker cannot be disciplined or fired. It is time to change for our country of laws are starting to be a joke when politicians can threaten the courts, and people with money can walk with good lawyers and make bail, which nonunion poor people do not have the means for either.

Now is the Time to Prepare

I hope that I am wrong, but what I see at this time is our unions are going to be in the fight of their existence. This is the most perilous time of our life. The life we had is threatened like never before. Unions are the largest organized group of people who can save our country if things keep going the way they are heading at this time. We need to all stand together for power, but we each must prepare and plan to take care of ourselves and our families. We can fight the big fight and not be distracted by worry about things that can and should already be taken care of. For instance, stashing at least one month’s pay and at least a month or even a year’s worth of food, whether the food is staples (pasta, rice, canned goods) and meat or chicken in the freezer. Keep your vehicles' tanks full and if possible a gas can full. It’s in your best interest to also save money for house or rent payments plus extra. This is not new thinking for us old trade workers who had to prepare when...

We Are the Power

Looks like there is hope for the union workers and our country for the union people who believed Trump’s lies, who now know that he was just full of bullshitting all of you. He said the he would bring more work to this country, but took away money from job projects, and the ones that were too late to stop, Trump put his name on it and is taking credit for the work done. Trump is not a union supporter and the people who work for him do not support unions either because they all get their money from big corporations, who are notoriously anti-union. The entire GOP is bought and paid for by large corporations, such as Home Depot, Walmart, Chamber of Commerce and many other nonunion selfish companies. We all have a chance to change things and take it all back if we dare by voting blue in the mid-term elections. If we vote for things that are what we really need like healthcare, good pensions, living wages, voting rights, more affordable housing, and rent control. In other words, let’s get a...

They'll Be Coming For All Of Us

Yes, they are coming for us. Workers need to have one another’s backs because no one else will. Neither the broader labor movement nor the Democratic party are prepared to meet the urgency of this moment. So it’s going to fall upon the rest of us to mount a real resistance against Trump’s authoritarian takeover. We’re going to have to get our hands dirty. I don’t care if you have a good, well-paying union job and you are in the middle class now—if you see a worker being dragged out of his workplace regardless of how skilled the job and potentially taken to another country, you should be ready to be there for that worker. When I.C.E. shows up, gather around and shame them into leaving. It has worked in other places. America is sleep walking into authoritarianism, and if there’s anyone out there who is a member of a labor union that is safe—at this point— and doesn’t think this applies to them. Understand that they just haven’t gotten to you yet. They’re coming for all of us. There are ...
