Union Perspectives

If there is no class warfare then why are the one percenters, the billionaires, building bunkers, buying thousands of acres of land, buying islands, building superyachts, and going into space looking for potentially inhabitable planets? Do they know more than we, the peons, do about what is happening and what is expected to happen? Just what are they afraid of? Do they think the proletariats are coming for them with pitchforks? If so, why would they think this way? Guilty conscience, maybe? Could it be that they know that a few people that possess 99% of the wealth in the world is unsustainable, and are worried about the 99% of the people will do and will they declare a class war? The 99% against the 1%, and if I was a member of the 1%, I would change my ways or dig a deeper bunker. Even with bunkers, super yachts, islands or their money and thousands of acres of land, they will still need fuel, food, water, medicine, medical care, and who will they trust to do it for them?

Unions new slogan should be “Organize or Die.” We must be stronger by the 2024 elections because we don’t know for sure what the outcome will be. When we are striking or organizing, our workers will see the need to vote and vote for people who support workers. They see this when on the picket line or when working for a union they will vote for and to keep a union. This is when workers understand what is at stake and who their friends are. So, in the 2024 election, workers will have a friendly president and government or they will have a president who will turn government on unions and its members.

Unions that have problems with other unions have got to set aside their differences and issues at least for this year or we could very possibly lose our unions and the security unions provide to the workers. On the other hand, if union workers prevail in 2024 with the election of a Democratic pr...

Why do corporations fear a class warfare? Is it because there are more of us than there are of them? Is it because if we put our hands in our pockets all work stops? I think the greedy anti-union people have awaken a sleeping giant and the unions are responding by organizing strikes for better contracts for union like the United Auto Workers (UAW), UPS, Association of Flight Attendants, Teamsters. The working class people have focused on the power that we have when we stand together, and the power that we have when we withhold our labor, nothing is going to move. UAW union labor leader Shawn Fain has restored the unions’ fighting force and called out corporations power in unapologetic terms. Fain wore an “Eat the Rich” T-shirt and announced that “billionaires, in my opinion, don’t have a right to exist.” Yes, it is war and the unions are going to align union contracts across the industries to make way for bigger, bolder strikes. Now is our time when we have the support of our U.S. p...
