When Communicating, Become An Organizer

All union people should become an organizer when speaking to other working non-union people. For example, one of the most common misconceptions being said by non-union workers say is that they don’t want to pay dues to a union. This ignorance is why communication skills are so important. This person has bought into the misinformation that dues are used to promote the union and not for the workers’ retirement. One thing to keep in mind when speaking to other workers is the basic differences between the leader and the organizer. The leader goes on to build power to fulfill his or hers desires, to hold and wield the power for the purposes for both social and personal. He or she wants power for themselves. The organizer finds their goal in creation of power for others to use for their benefit. The organizer must be good at communication and be able to communicate with others, which takes place when the other person understands what you’re trying to get across to them if they don’t understand then you are not communicating for their comprehension and should look for another strategy. People only understand things or concepts in the terms of their experiences. Communicating is a two-way process. If you try to get your ideas across to others without factoring in what they have to say to you, you can forget about the whole encounter. I am a union man and I will always be a union man for if I was to change I would be making a whore of my soul and work life. I hope all union people feel the same for to see our unions we have to have SOLIDARITY.

It's Time To Pick A Side

It’s time to pick a side. You want to have and keep unions with good wages and pensions, then it’s time to pick a side. You want to keep Social Security for yourself and family, it is time to pick a side. You want to get or keep Medicare and Obama’s Affordable Care Act, then it’s time to pick a side. It is us against the billionaires. The very rich got that way off the backs of workers, and now want to strip everything away from those workers. It’s time to pick a side. The very rich can buy countries, then make the people get on their hands and knees and grovel and beg for scrapes that usually go into the dumpster. It’s time to pick a side. Is this what we want for our family and our future? It’s time to pick a side. Get ready to fight for you and your families’ lives. There is no middle ground with these greedy people for they want it all—all the money—all the power—all the land so where does this leave us when they have all the commons, like water, land and airways? It’s time to pick...

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...

Senator Bernie Sanders & Team

The AFL is with Senator Bernie Sanders and it is the people’s only chance to push back against Elon Musk, who wants to dismantle our government. Musk family is said to have left South Africa because they could no longer exploit The native/black Africans so he bought Trump and now he’s laying waste to America in the name of progress. With Senator Sanders’ leadership and backing of all labor unions, we could put together the whole of 99 percent of the people and beat back the 2 percent destroying we what once had and stood for while also saving Social Security, healthcare for all, elder care, child care, while working on the climate change crisis (we are running out of time, as the weather is showing us). The workers need to go big, such as a four-day work week like other countries have; universal basic income (UBI) and Medicare for all for unhoused people, which would help get them off the streets. UBI goes right back into the local economies, which supports jobs for the other working p...
