Bank of America is rooting for there to be less jobs so the employers will be back in control. Joblessness could help companies bring people back in the office where they want them, despite evidence that shows employees are more productive when they work from home.
These titans of wealth would like to see a recession just to put the little people back in their place so they can regain the control they had over the working class who feared losing their jobs or having their hours cut.
Some employers enjoy watching their workers grovel for their jobs that pay low wages where missing a day’s work could mean not being able to pay the rent or make a car payment or pay the utilities.
Good timing and planning are the ways to win strikes with as much support from all unions that can get involved.
The young workers are getting smarter even though they don’t teach about labor and the capitalist system in high school. The young workers can now just look up labor laws and history and how the capitalist system is set up for them to lose and the very large corporations to win.
The tools for the workers to win is there and some unions are using them right now on the streets and some have already won, like the Hollywood writers and the Teamsters and many other strikes.
If working people don’t have or want to read history books, just look the history up on the internet or go to a union meeting. If you don’t have a union, then start one.
The tool box for organizing or supporting a union is in your back pocket. Your cell phone has all the information. You will need to get a union in your work place and go walk a picket line — you will learn a lot.
Remember, don’t wait for the other person, take responsibility for you and your family. You will never have a better time to make the capitalist system work for you.
The United Auto Workers at the Volvo Group-owned Mack Trucks rejected a five-year contract and plan to strike today. The 4,000 workers in Pennsylvania, Maryland and Florida rejected the company’s offer.
Last week 75,000 Kaiser Permanente workers, nurses, pharmacists, lab technicians and others in D.C., Colorado, Washington state, Virginia, California, Oregon and Virginia went on strike or a “walkout” for three days and returned to the negotiating table. They have not rejected the idea to strike again.
Unions are “Fighting for the American Dream.”
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...
