Fight the Right and Rich

Trump will manage to get out of legal trouble by the help of the most third powerful person on earth: Leonard Leo, who is the co-chair of the Federalist Society, who picks most all of the trial judges and most of the corrupt U.S. Supreme Court justices. Leo and his billionaire friends own the Supreme Court, and they are opposed to voter rights, unions, LGBTQ rights, abortion and contraception. They have spent $43 million for Leo’s nonprofit, which serves conservative political figures and groups, and it has made Leo a very rich person. So, if Trump would ever get his case to the Supreme Court, there is no doubt that he would win. Our country is at a tipping point, will we be a country of laws that is not bought by the billionaires, or will we be a theocracy ruled by guns. If we want a land of laws for the people, how do we get it back, and hold onto it if we don’t have voting rights? This 2024 election might just be the most important election in our lifetime. So all working people and union brothers and sisters must come together and vote for the good of the people and of our country. All union members must do what is best for their families and the unions. This is an “Us against Them—the mega rich,” who think they can buy whatever they want like a city, county, state or federal government without our say, and they will buy all the radio, television stations and newspapers to spout their propaganda. It’s imperative we read our history, study our laws, and vote for our best interests. The unions are our most important way to win. Get smart. Think smart. And vote smart. The young voters are leaving us in the dust. Marjory Douglas Stoneman High School in Parkland, FL shooting survivor David Hogg with other young people started the organization, Leaders We Deserve. Recognizing that “Our political system is stacked against young people—in favor of those who are older, wealthier and white.” This group is engaging with and registering Millennial and Generation-Z people to vote, and run for office. These groups held 21 percent of state legislative seats but are representing 45 percent of the electorate. They’re looking toward Congress and more state legislative seats. We can join them or sit back and watch them do what we could have done.

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...
