Americans Deserve Better Than The Clintons

Wall Street wants the clients to keep Wall Street just as it is and for that is Bill Clinton will get another four years as president even though Hillary would be the elected president, assuming she is elected president. She cannot and will not be able to control Bill, and the establishment knows this. They all at Wall Street, corporations and big banks remember what Bill did for them at the detriment of the wage slaves. So why do the wage slaves want Hillary? This includes some of the leadership of the unions. Don’t the union leadership remember NAFTA, and Bill never helped the unions with card check or tightening up the National Labor Relations Board to help keep unions strong. Maybe it was because Hillary set on Walmart’s board of directors. Should we not expect Hillary to support a $15 an hour minimum wage? Also there is the incarceration of black Americans at a higher rate than others. This prison population exploded under Bill’s presidency and now Hillary was getting large sums of money from the private prison industry (that she has since returned once it became known). This makes their profits from the misery of black prisoners, who are without hope of ever fitting into the work place when and if they are released. Typically, these prisoners have lower educational levels and few job skills. All of this is wrong and unfair for the 47 percent and this is why there is an exodus from the corrupted Democratic Party. And union members are not accepting the endorsements of their leaders’ choice for presidents, and are, instead, voting for Sanders, which is the only way to help themselves. Some union members are sadly supporting Donald Trump in a misguided notion that he will create jobs for them, and destroy the trade agreements. Bernie Sanders is and will do the same thing without turning one segment of society against another. Bernie has a proven track record, unlike Hillary and Donald. Bernie’s platform is the dream of most of the 47 percent, which is a $15 an hour minimum wage, free education, single-payer healthcare (which is Medicare for all), trade agreements that work for all workers or none, addressing climate change with renewable energy, and putting our people to work on our failing infrastructure: roads, bridges, water lines, and schools. The need is here. We have the money. We just need a strong resolute leader, who is backed by millions of workers to make the change. Lastly, the unions that have not taken sides yet should poll their members, and then support the candidate of their choice. Hopefully, it will be Bernie. If labor does not understand or see what is happening, then this could be the last gasp for labor and the Democratic Party. As we know them. Labor and the Democratic Party have always worked together—until labor was thrown under the bus for Wall Street, corporations and big banks, which began under George McGovern and accelerated under Bill Clinton.

GOP Doesn't Support Unions

It’s time for all union members to get rid of the union members and leaders who support the GOP and its Right to Work agenda. Trump, billionaires, the GOP, and the corporate people all hate unions and any union member who votes for these GOP candidates are just scabs who are not only riding on the backs of good hard working union people but also they are dragging their feet to keep the unions from moving forward. If these so called union people cannot see their way to vote and support people who fight and support unions then they should not vote or just get the hell out of our union labor because you are killing us by your foot dragging interference. All of our union people need to understand this is an ‘us against them’ situation and Trump and his anti union corporations are not your friend and if a union person thinks they are you are dumber than a post. Trump and the corporations do not care at all about you or your family. Once they have your vote you’re of no use to them. Trump’s ...

They'll Be Coming For All Of Us

Yes, they are coming for us. Workers need to have one another’s backs because no one else will. 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 ...

Unions Expand or Face Extinction

In 2026 unions worldwide must educate and expand their memberships or face certain death. We need to educate our workers to understand that the republican party does not care about, does not deserve their support or votes and only cares about the billionaires. The GOP is their enemy and not their friends. The GOP and billionaires are the workers’ enemy. They want the workers’ sweat and blood for as cheap as they can get it. These greedy people and their insatiable appetite for more leaving us with much less will not stop until we’re forced to work for scraps and fighting each other for the pittance. They will not invite you to golf with them or go hunting or to dinner with them. In fact, they are always in pursuit of ways to destroy our unions and the way of life we’ve obtain by being union. One way they are doing this is to use the court system, especially the lop-sided Supreme Court, to take away our union rights and to get more states to vote for The Right to Work, which leaves work...
