Unions do not do well in a dictatorship because unions are the first thing dictators destroy, and rest assured the workers won’t be allowed to hit the streets in protest. If Trump is elected he will invoke the Insurrection Act and send troops into the cities to crush them and send a message that he will terminate and dissent. They will eliminate unions and unionized workers. We are standing at the precipice and it's up to us to fight the fall into a dictatorship.
By voting for the GOP, maga people and anyone else will be able to keep their guns until Trump says, “No.” By then, he will have already amassed an Army of foot soldiers in place to take over the government jobs. They will be Trump’s people and they will do whatever he tells them to do.
The only way this can be stopped is for all unions and their members to put aside their political and social differences and stand strong for democracy, unions, workers rights and workers safety. This is not a drill. It will happen just look beyond Trump’s ramblings to all the people who put themselves in positions to take over all by courtesy of the billionaires, who have packed the courts and bought the GOP politicians. We are a country of laws, but look at the rulings by the U.S. Supreme Courts stacked by Trump, they have begun to unravel our system and won’t stop until we are the peasant class.
The working class can still win because there are more of use than there are of them unless we have to fight the U.S. Army, which what Trump people want. We have to win the 2024, we can’t afford to hide our heads and hope for the best or sit out because we don’t like either candidates.
For the next year let’s organize more businesses to gain more union members and start the fight for a safer country. We only need to look at how European workers are treated because of their laws. They have 32-hour work weeks, fair minimum wages, ours should be $24 an hour nonunion workers because if we help lift them up maybe they’d be more prone to join us in unions.
This coming year will be the biggest year in labor history for we will either win or lose all and be working with no minimum wage, no unions, no health care, no National Labor Relations Board, no Social Security—all is at stake, everything is riding on your vote.
Also, if the opportunity arises educate the young people. They are being misled into believing the GOP talking points about false information. It used to be the Democrats were going to take your guns, nowhere going to take their gas stoves. A lot of young people do not understand that we pay into Social Security benefits like a savings account, the young are being told by the GOP that Social Security is an entitlement, much like food stamps or welfare/government assistance programs. The non-private educational systems in red states are deliberately inferior to keep the population docile and easily manipulated so we have our work cut out for us.
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...
