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.

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...

Time for an Offense

There are three phases of a general strike and unions must plan for one. Those three phases are: 1. general strike in an industry 2. general strike in a community 3. general national strike We need to move away from being on the defensive and move toward a good offensive. The American Federal of Labor (AFL) could not have held a general strike if it wanted to because they had thousands of different contracts that expired at different times of the year. This was done deliberately so that there is no consolidation of power for a general strike. Also, nowadays, there is no law agency that will support labor, except the National Labor Relations Board (NLBR), which has been under attack and in decline for years. This leaves the burden of change up to unions, and unless unions work together, little will change. We essentially have a combination of job trusts, which are not as strong as contracts, and the courts can break easily because the NLBR will be further weakened and essentially elim...

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...
