Unions’ long game is to get all union contracts to expire on the same day nationwide. The United Auto Workers combines contracts ends on April 28, 2028. This could then result in a mass national strike starting on May Day beeginning that year. This could then put enormous pressure on employers, but also on lawmakers. It’s the muscle and sweat of the workers that keeps this country great, not the individual company or corporations.
This May Day strike would be the time to change the workers’ world for the better by negotiating for a 32-hour week with the same pay, and the U.S. adopts a healthcare for all with no out of pocket costs. This would also help the employers as they would no longer have to provide healthcare.
By striking, the UAW won same pay for new workers, all UAW contracts will end on the same date, a 25-percent pay increase, a cost of living adjustments, a guaranteed right to strike over potential plant closures, and also the right to vote to unionize through the card check system.
Reagan’s trickle down theory has not and never will occur because the system is rigged against workers and encourages poverty. During the last two years, the richest 1 percent has accumulated twice as much wealth as the rest of the world together. If you’re too young to remember what it was like to be a worker in the 1950s and 1960s, do a search and see what a family with one worker earned and was able to buy in those days compared today. Don’t insult your intelligence by saying, ‘yeah, but inflation,’ because inflation, as we’ve learned recently is another name for corporate greed.
Now is the time to clawback our lives from working all the time for our greatest resource in the world is a human beings’ time and energy. We are selling our lives one hour at a time. Now is the time to get a better deal for all working people and their families.
Explain to me what exactly billionaires do for this country besides evade taxes?
May Day 2028 or sooner.
If you vote republican, ask yourself why and why do you hate yourself? Leave out the silliness of talking points like “woke”, “guns”, and the sexuality of another, and ask yourself why you support the anti-union, anti-wage increase, anti-taxing the rich, anti-unemployment benefits, anti-Social Security, anti-personal freedom, anti-choice, anti-healthcare, anti-sick leave, anti-worker safety — the list is so long, it makes me wonder why anyone would vote for a republican.
Put yourself first for a change, and question everything the GOP tells you before they take away your freedoms.
Have FBI agitators infiltrated our labor unions like the FBI did during black rights movement, feminist movement, and anti-Vietnam protests to sow the seeds of division between the factions and Malcolm X and Elijah Muhammed—to control and disrupt our labor movements from the inside? We don’t know at this time, and is anyone in the media or government looking into this? The war on labor and the effort to drag us back to serf wages is coming from within the White House with some labor union and MAGA members. Corporations are padding their accounts and of one greedy man instead of its workers. The war on labor is and will be fought between corporation titans and labor, and at this time the corporations will use the White House, courts and the FBI and even those at Homeland Security and I.C.E. against us. Labor must educate our members on how counter and what tactics are being used by the corporations and government against labor and the average person in general. How many people have lost...
