New Threat: Center on Reinventing Public Education

There is a new attack, among the never ending attacks, on the proletarians. The 1 percent is relentless in their hate and contempt for the wage slaves, unions and Have Nothings. These people represent the Chamber of Commerce, American Manufacturing Association, American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), American City Council Exchange (ACCE) and now a new threat: the Center on Reinventing Public Education (CRPE). This is a secret group that wants to take over our school systems. This education reform powerhouse is funded by people like the Koch brothers, who would like to break the teachers’ union and be the people who decides school curriculum. They would destroy the public education system and replace it with a private school with a voucher system and do away with school boards that would be replaced with corporate board who want to see a good bottom line for their investments. This would be their number one priority and the students are an afterthought, taught right-wing thinking and kept ignorant. Charter schools will be run like a business with no thought for the students and the less education the wage slaves have the easier they are to control. First they sent all the jobs overseas, now they’re dumbing further down our education system so the masses don’t’ notice what they’re doing and will fight amongst themselves over the chicken scratch. ALEC, ACCE and CRPE are funded by the very wealthy, free-market focused special interests, including the Koch brothers, and the Walton Foundation (Walmart). Do not take my word for it, search the Internet and then consider: Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker not only strangled the unions in his state by cutting collective bargaining rights for most government workers, he is now going after the state universities, and, along with the Republican-held Legislature, are pushing for control over tenure and curriculum. David Koch sits on the Smithsonian board and he was one of several donors to Smithsonian-affiliated scientist Willie Soon, who received $1.25 million from the Koch brothers, Exxon Mobil, and American Petroleum Institute, to publish junk science denying man-made climate change. Fox News owner Rupert Murdoch owns the History Channel and the Learning Channel, both no longer air true educational programming.

Union or Project 2025

We have an election in two months, where the hell are the building Trade Unions? Members and organizers should be touting their wages, benefits and seeking out new members and union shops. So far, I’m only hearing crickets. While the Trade Unions sit back, the UAW have been striking and winning big benefits for their members. Then there is the Teamsters, who have taken on the Holy Grail—Amazon, the corporation. Again, just crickets from the Trade Unions. Then there is the Minnesota State model—-we can win more together than we can on our own. So why are all unions not working together? Why are all unions not talking with each other? There are two months left until the election—an election that could conceivably be the death null of unions. If we lose this election to the GOP, Trump and Project 2025, our unions will be destroyed and we’ll be back to the days of trying to make ends meet as the GOP will cut our wages, benefits will be eliminated and there will be nothing we can do abou...

David vs Goliath

Labor’s war is a David vs Goliath fight, but sometimes Goliath wins the battle but ultimately David will win the war, and here is one way it can be done in rural areas. Small towns that sit 40 to 50 miles away from larger cities have power for the low-wage workers have power for the low wage workers have nothing to lose for they have nothing, so they can and should use that nothing, which is a power, for better working conditions, such as good wages, regular working hours, healthcare—maybe even childcare. Employees can withhold their labor or just move. Businesses don’t have that option. So, labor in small towns should stand together for a good minimum wage and benefits. Wages should be $26 per hour. Given the income corporations are raking in today, they can well afford to pay their employees better. Healthcare workers, food workers, house keeping and any worker in town can join the town union (as the UAW has shown) and the unions could be the ones to join: fire, police and country ...

Set Aside Grievances and Vote Blue

International Brotherhood of Teamsters are following the United Auto Workers in making history with the groundbreaking joint employer decision against Amazon. Now, the Longshoremen have gotten a groundbreaking contract, as well. This is very telling on what labor can do if they all pull together. These are some of the best deals in the last 30 years. However, all can be lost in the next election if our members vote for the wrong candidate. It is not hyperbole, but history, to say Republicans hate unions. This election, all must set aside some of the “piss me off” things and vote for the people who will stand up for unions and the working people, union or nonunion. The richest 1 percent have half of the worlds wealth while the rest of us only have 0.75 percent. Since 2020, this 1 percent have taken 63 percent of all the wealth. In the U.S., 800 billionaires have more than half of the nation’s wealth while the bottom half of our families have 2.5 percent. Do you think these rich peop...
