Why are the states perpetuating genocide on workers’ rights and union wages? Could it be that the states have seen that factories and jobs are coming back to the USA? The state governments think the low wages and less safety regulations will attract the factories to their states. The unions need to pay attention to this trend for this will give the unions head start on fighting off the genocide of workers.
We must go on the on the offensive and upset the anti-worker money people. One way to do this is to back $15-$16 minimum wage this will shift away a lot of money and attention from what the states are doing to union people. If the unions could be the leaders on the minimum wage hike it could lead to an organizer’s dream for the workers would feel powerful and would have money for education and lots of products, which hopefully, will be made in the USA.
If the workers of the world all start to demand what is their right, it will help us here so we, wage slaves must support all workers here and outside of our country.

Neither the broader labor movement nor the Democratic party are prepared to meet the urgency of this moment. So it’s going to fall upon the rest of us to mount a real resistance against Trump’s authoritarian takeover. We’re going to have to get our hands dirty. I don’t care if you have a good, well-paying union job and you are in the middle class now—if you see a worker being dragged out of his workplace regardless of how skilled the job and potentially taken to another country, you should be ready to be there for that worker. When I.C.E. shows up, gather around and shame them into leaving. It has worked in other places. America is sleep walking into authoritarianism, and if there’s anyone out there who is a member of a labor union that is safe—at this point— and doesn’t think this applies to them. Understand that they just haven’t gotten to you yet. They’re coming for all of us. There are ...
