GOP Usurping Laws of the Land

The Have Nots Used to Haves and Have Littles fight for opportunity and wage inequality has a new threat. The GOP has found a way to take away the courts, which could rule in favor of the little people or in favor of a labor disagreement. How? By usurping the laws of the land. Just take a look at what Kansas Governor Sam Brownback told his state Supreme Court that if they did not rule the way he wants he will stop funding for the entire court system. If the people think they can use their vote to rectify this atrocity think again. Brownback is one step ahead of the proletariats. He just passed a law that gives Secretary of State Kris Kobach the power to prosecute whoever he thinks has committed voter fraud even if they did not. This is just to send a message that if a voter has any doubt about their voter identification to vote this will stop a lot of potential voters from even going to the polls. The GOP in other states are watching and will probably try the same thing. So this is why workers trying to start unions should just try to form workers unions and stay away from 100 percent vote and just take who wants to join and pay dues then will be protected under the concerted effort law, which means if two people or one person says the word “we” as in “we would like a raise” or some safety thig taken care of, the worker cannot be disciplined or fired. It is time to change for our country of laws are starting to be a joke when politicians can threaten the courts, and people with money can walk with good lawyers and make bail, which nonunion poor people do not have the means for either.

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...

Now is the Time to Prepare

I hope that I am wrong, but what I see at this time is our unions are going to be in the fight of their existence. This is the most perilous time of our life. The life we had is threatened like never before. Unions are the largest organized group of people who can save our country if things keep going the way they are heading at this time. We need to all stand together for power, but we each must prepare and plan to take care of ourselves and our families. We can fight the big fight and not be distracted by worry about things that can and should already be taken care of. For instance, stashing at least one month’s pay and at least a month or even a year’s worth of food, whether the food is staples (pasta, rice, canned goods) and meat or chicken in the freezer. Keep your vehicles' tanks full and if possible a gas can full. It’s in your best interest to also save money for house or rent payments plus extra. This is not new thinking for us old trade workers who had to prepare when...

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...
