Now is the time for the Democrats and unions and all wage slaves to attack because the GOP is in disarray. We, the workers, must now also demand what we want in return for our services to the Democratic politicians. And we also must explain to our fellow wage slaves what we will get for our money and time. One thing we deserve is: card check for unions, which will enlarge union membership and tighten up the National Labor Relations Board laws. And for the nonunion workers and their families some of the things we would be looking very hard at the trend of 39-hour work weeks to keep workers off pensions, healthcare, vacation and overtime. Another area to look at is the temporary hiring agencies, which take advantage of the workers desperate for work. The money that the employer pays the temp agency would be more money the worker could earn. The temp agency is a middle man and why are they needed if not for greed?
We, the proletarians, need to know just what we are fighting for and tell everyone. The GOP knows what they want and what their investments will earn them, so why do we keep our needs and wants a secret? Now is the time to make our demands clear. The GOP is on the run right now and they are losing this election. With the GOP on the defensive, now is the time to attack (Art of War).
Art of War strategy and tactics are:
1). When the enemy advances we retreat
2). When the enemy halts we harass
3). When the enemy seeks to avoid battle, we attack
4). When the enemy retreats, we pursue
So at this time I think #3 and #4 are appropriate.
A lot of the 99% who support the GOP are not donating any money to the Republicans because they know the Koch brothers, Sheldon Adleson and other 1%ers are giving millions of dollars so why would the GOP need their little tokens of money. The answer is simple. If you don’t invest you have no ownership in the election. We, the Democrats, put our money in smaller amounts, but it is our investments in our future and hopefully protect Social Security, healthcare, union rights, pensions, safety at work, unemployment benefits, and food stamps.
We must organize our workers and working families into a hardcore fighting machine and then use the 4 strategies of the Art of War and never stop again.
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
