Have FBI agitators infiltrated our labor unions like the FBI did during black rights movement, feminist movement, and anti-Vietnam protests to sow the seeds of division between the factions and Malcolm X and Elijah Muhammed—to control and disrupt our labor movements from the inside?
We don’t know at this time, and is anyone in the media or government looking into this?
The war on labor and the effort to drag us back to serf wages is coming from within the White House with some labor union and MAGA members. Corporations are padding their accounts and of one greedy man instead of its workers. The war on labor is and will be fought between corporation titans and labor, and at this time the corporations will use the White House, courts and the FBI and even those at Homeland Security and I.C.E. against us.
Labor must educate our members on how counter and what tactics are being used by the corporations and government against labor and the average person in general. How many people have lost their jobs and business since the current administration took office again.
Labor needs to educate our members on how and what tactics that were used the government and corporations in the 1920s and ‘30s, We have the play books used back then to succeed against the latest attack on workers today.

This is really happening so let’s protect and expose them while we still can before they do great damage to us and our way of life. Damage that we may not be able to repair.
They will try to divide the CIO and the AFL. Also, between the trade labor must not fall for any of these tactics.
The survival of American democracy requires the existence of a flourishing union work force. In a survey, 68 percent of Americans approve of labor unions. So, as an old sheet metal organizer, I say we need to go all out in organizing while the soldering iron is hot, to use a sheet metal workers tool. We should organize all workers no matter where or what kind of work they do. All workers have the right to belong to a union and all should support each other. If you, in your work place, do not know how to form a union, then do what Napoleon’s military adopted adage, ‘Jump into the battle and then figure it out.’ One of the best ways to organize is worker to worker and plan it out over a meal or coffee and talk to other union workers to see what would work best for you and also what unions are winning at this time. Just go for it. When things are in disarray, like the shit show in Washington, D.C., they might not even know what you are doing until it is too late for them to push back aga...
