The success of the GOP has been its long game. They started what they call “The Transformations” during the Reagan’s election to reshape the American Society.
Now they have Project 2025 and Agenda 47 aka Trump’s shadow government, which is essentially Project 2025, but Trump’s version.
Labor and the working people are the only ones who can beat back these regressive, anti-worker plans. Labor must take these remaining 80-plus days before the election and organize more members.
If your union doesn’t have the need or resources to expand to expand their unions then at least support others who want a union or are on the picket line, like Cornell University employees.
This could be labor’s last stand. In 80 days, all bets are off if the GOP wins. Your vote could be the one that wins to keep labor unions and Social Security fore retirees or your vote could take it away and Project 2025 will be the law of the land.
We, in labor, must start to defend our union jobs and our pensions and learn how to fight for the win. At this time, we still have some tools to do this, but if 2025 comes into play, all will be lost.
So, organize, organize, organize like your life and unions depends on it for the GOP and large corporations will take it all away.
Yes, there is only 80 days left, but labor needs to start planning for what will happen after the election. If Democrats wins then we will have a labor friendly government, which could be time for organizing and going for better pay and benefits.
Should the GOP wins, then we should be planning on an 1886-type of nation-wide strike, which 300,000 people walked off the job in support of an eight-hour work day. But this time, we could walk off the job for a four-day work week.
Labor needs to start thinking big and looking at the family members of labor and benefits like free education to the level of a bachelor’s degree, child care, universal healthcare like 32 of the developed nations have, fight to drop the tax on Social security, and more public housing.
This is unions’ ‘for the people’ and we can do it. So vote for your family’s best interests, not for some corporation’s.
In 2026 unions worldwide must educate and expand their memberships or face certain death. We need to educate our workers to understand that the republican party does not care about, does not deserve their support or votes and only cares about the billionaires. The GOP is their enemy and not their friends. The GOP and billionaires are the workers’ enemy. They want the workers’ sweat and blood for as cheap as they can get it. These greedy people and their insatiable appetite for more leaving us with much less will not stop until we’re forced to work for scraps and fighting each other for the pittance. They will not invite you to golf with them or go hunting or to dinner with them. In fact, they are always in pursuit of ways to destroy our unions and the way of life we’ve obtain by being union. One way they are doing this is to use the court system, especially the lop-sided Supreme Court, to take away our union rights and to get more states to vote for The Right to Work, which leaves work...
