Vote or Lose it All

The consequences of losing your county government to anti-government maga people is that, one: they don’t like or want unions in government jobs; they want to control all of the county jobs, such as the elections department, so they can get their hands on your ballots. They want to control the county school boards and the county school superintendent’s office and dedicate what is taught. They also want to control of the Shasta County District Attorney’s office and the Health Department. How can this be done? One way is just by buying the County supervisors with lots of money from outside our county. In Shasta County’s case, it was and is out of state money, which supported a recall of three supervisors, which were all Republicans members, but were not maga trump people. Two of these supervisors were not recalled, but have vowed not to run again and one was recalled, giving the maga supervisors a majority vote of three to two vote to fire the County’s Health Officer, and they will not quit with that win. They want to destroy Shasta County’s government. Our Five Counties Council unions fought this with people and money in supporting the supervisors who were being recalled, but lost because there wasn’t enough money to counter the unlimited money coming in from outside the County. This is a hard thing for union labor people to use their money to try to defend Republicans, but the alternative left the Five Counties Council no choice, unfortunately we lost, but all county workers’ union benefits are in danger as a result of this loss. I wonder how many of these workers realize that or voted against their own self-interest? All of this is occurring in our Northern California County right now and I am sure the same thing is happening in other small counties across the USA. So, the real fight is who will control the ballot boxes and voting machines for those who do will win through corruption. So, unions members and all working people must get out and vote to stop this from happening. The anti-worker GOP maga led assault is on the working-class people, not just to control the government. If they, the gop maga people, are counting the votes, we lose. Vet the candidates you want to vote for. Several are saying they’re sponsored by the Liberty committee, that is a tell that they are with the maga-gop group. One Cottonwood candidate, who is running as a Liberty candidate, says in one of his television advertisements that he will not raises our taxes. He’s either ignorant or is hoping you are.

Fight or Perish

In 2012 more than a quarter of all political contributions came from just 30,000 people who represented the 1 percent of the 1 percent, 90 percent who spent the most won. Today, we are an experiment in either a democracy, which started in 1787 or an oligarchy, which is winning. The nonunion people, like Trump and Musk, have most all the tools in their pockets to destroy our unions. They have money, they have the courts, they have law enforcement, they have the media, and 50 percent of workers that don’t know this don’t know the history of the working class people. This is the perfect storm to lose all the gains workers have made whether they’re union or not, even our Social Security and Medicare, and the Affordable Care Act. So, now we will have to go way back to the late 1920s and ‘30s and dig up the old labor party books. One book, written in 1964, has the information, The Rebel Voices, an IWW Anthology by Joyce L. Kornbluh, educator, activist, and advocate. The history of our labor...

Project 2025 will be the Death of Unions

Each blog I write from here on out could be my last. I don’t know if or when they will shut me down, but I will keep the blog going for as long as I can. I’m not engaging in hyperbole, not with what is coming at us in January. We need to protect and defend the National Labor Relations Board. When Trump was last in office, he systematically eliminated workers’ rights to join unions and negotiate collective bargaining with employers—this not only hurt employees, but their communities and the economy overall. Trump weakened worker protections and actively worked at eliminating rules that protected workers. We need to keep the NLRB for all workers, for organizing workers and nonunion workers and build a workers’ union that is much stronger than the MAGA or the old Tea Party. Our unions will fight and win. The benefits unions fight for eventually work their way down to nonunion workers. If MAGAs weren’t so hellbent on owning the Libs, they, too, would enjoy a four-day work-week with full p...

Support Those Unionizing

Workers are still unionizing their workplaces so here is a shoutout to the nurses at the University Medical Center, a private hospital in New Orleans and the only level-one trauma center. The nurses held a one-day strike, but had been bargaining with the hospital for eight months regarding workplace concerns, such as safety and more money. There are about 600 nurses, considered the backbone of all hospitals, working at UMC. All of our unions should be giving them our support in any way that helps them succeed. If the election doesn’t go blue, this type of worker protests could very well end if the election goes red. This year with our president’s and vice president’s support of unions, there have been some big wins for labor. If we lose, the National Labor Relations Board will be eliminated and all states will become right to work states, which is the kiss of death to unions. Today, twenty-seven states have right to work laws, which prohibits union contracts. Right to work is a new t...
