Why the Presidency & Supreme Court matter to the worker

Does the person who is president matter when it comes to the detriment of the average worker? Yes, it does matter. The president is the one who selects the candidates for the U.S. Supreme Court; and remember, the Supreme Court giveth and taketh away.
Examples of this ‘give and take’ that have hurt the workers include: 
The 2000 Supreme Court ruling that gave George W. Bush the presidency over Al Gore
The 2010 Supreme Court ruling that gave Citizens United aka corporations the same status as a person and that corporations could give unlimited political campaigns contributions without revealing the source.
In 1959, the Supreme Court invoked the Taft-Hartley Act against steel workers. 
In 1938, the Supreme Court rules that sit-down strikes are illegal.
In 1924, the Supreme Court ruled that child-labor laws were unconstitutional.
In 1915, the Supreme Court upholds ‘yellow dog contracts,’ which forbids membership in Labor Unions.
In 1905, the Supreme Court held that a maximum hours law unconditional.
In 1898, the Supreme Court invalidated the Erdman Act, which had given railroad workers the right to strike and belong to a union.
While some of these were reversed, it’s unclear at this time with the Supreme Court we have now how long it will be before the Supreme Court reverses the remainder of the workers’ protections. Today, we know about the attack on the unions in 14 states, how many know that Missouri legislators are trying to weaken the child labor laws? The last resort for a court  case is the Supreme Court.

Hopefully, these examples show why the office of the presidency is so important to the working class.
A search of the Internet or library would provide more information and examples that dates back to the 1700s.

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...
