New Threat: Center on Reinventing Public Education

There is a new attack, among the never ending attacks, on the proletarians. The 1 percent is relentless in their hate and contempt for the wage slaves, unions and Have Nothings. These people represent the Chamber of Commerce, American Manufacturing Association, American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), American City Council Exchange (ACCE) and now a new threat: the Center on Reinventing Public Education (CRPE). This is a secret group that wants to take over our school systems. This education reform powerhouse is funded by people like the Koch brothers, who would like to break the teachers’ union and be the people who decides school curriculum. They would destroy the public education system and replace it with a private school with a voucher system and do away with school boards that would be replaced with corporate board who want to see a good bottom line for their investments. This would be their number one priority and the students are an afterthought, taught right-wing thinking and kept ignorant. Charter schools will be run like a business with no thought for the students and the less education the wage slaves have the easier they are to control. First they sent all the jobs overseas, now they’re dumbing further down our education system so the masses don’t’ notice what they’re doing and will fight amongst themselves over the chicken scratch. ALEC, ACCE and CRPE are funded by the very wealthy, free-market focused special interests, including the Koch brothers, and the Walton Foundation (Walmart). Do not take my word for it, search the Internet and then consider: Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker not only strangled the unions in his state by cutting collective bargaining rights for most government workers, he is now going after the state universities, and, along with the Republican-held Legislature, are pushing for control over tenure and curriculum. David Koch sits on the Smithsonian board and he was one of several donors to Smithsonian-affiliated scientist Willie Soon, who received $1.25 million from the Koch brothers, Exxon Mobil, and American Petroleum Institute, to publish junk science denying man-made climate change. Fox News owner Rupert Murdoch owns the History Channel and the Learning Channel, both no longer air true educational programming.

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
