If They Win, We Lose

Can Elon Musk, worth $180 billion, Jeff Bezos, worth $114 billion, Starbucks and Trader Joe’s stop labor? At this time there is a resurgence in the labor movement in the U.S. and Musk and Bezos, with support from Starbucks and Trader Joe’s. Together they are trying to get a case before the U.S. Supreme Court that would eliminate the National Labor Relations Board, which was established in 1935, because they say it it is unconstitutional as it mixes audial and executive functions. They are counting on Justice Samuel Alito, an anti-union zealot who makes no secret of his determination to over turn protections for workers and then unions, will fight on their behalf. This would be the second time that the rich people tried to eliminate the NLRB in 1937, but in those days, the Supreme Court followed the law, not like today. If they succeed they would or could kill the labor movement in the U.S. This is why the Democrats must win the 2024 election for the president, the House and the Senate. If we lose in the U.S. Supreme Court, the only way to get the National Labor Relations Board back would be to have control in the presidency, House and Senate. If we don’t win, this election the billionaires will own us and our country will be Lords and peasants where mega billionaires own us and Trump will have complete immunity to do whatever he wants—what could possibly go wrong? Remember, the GOP is the party of the boss, and the boss likes low wages, no work safety, and no work breaks. If Kentucky gets its way, it will take away the lunch break and ban wages above the state wage of $7.25. The GOP wants to control our bodies and souls. And they won’t stop until they do. If they win, we lose. Leonard Leo, chairman of the board of directors of the Federalist Society, a lawyer and conservative activist, lists his wealth as $5 million; however, he gave $1.6 billion to buy the Supreme Court and he did this for the GOP billionaires, who now own the Supreme Court that Trump built.

GOP Doesn't Support Unions

It’s time for all union members to get rid of the union members and leaders who support the GOP and its Right to Work agenda. Trump, billionaires, the GOP, and the corporate people all hate unions and any union member who votes for these GOP candidates are just scabs who are not only riding on the backs of good hard working union people but also they are dragging their feet to keep the unions from moving forward. If these so called union people cannot see their way to vote and support people who fight and support unions then they should not vote or just get the hell out of our union labor because you are killing us by your foot dragging interference. All of our union people need to understand this is an ‘us against them’ situation and Trump and his anti union corporations are not your friend and if a union person thinks they are you are dumber than a post. Trump and the corporations do not care at all about you or your family. Once they have your vote you’re of no use to them. Trump’s ...

They'll Be Coming For All Of Us

Yes, they are coming for us. Workers need to have one another’s backs because no one else will. Neither the broader labor movement nor the Democratic party are prepared to meet the urgency of this moment. So it’s going to fall upon the rest of us to mount a real resistance against Trump’s authoritarian takeover. We’re going to have to get our hands dirty. I don’t care if you have a good, well-paying union job and you are in the middle class now—if you see a worker being dragged out of his workplace regardless of how skilled the job and potentially taken to another country, you should be ready to be there for that worker. When I.C.E. shows up, gather around and shame them into leaving. It has worked in other places. America is sleep walking into authoritarianism, and if there’s anyone out there who is a member of a labor union that is safe—at this point— and doesn’t think this applies to them. Understand that they just haven’t gotten to you yet. They’re coming for all of us. There are ...

Unions Expand or Face Extinction

In 2026 unions worldwide must educate and expand their memberships or face certain death. We need to educate our workers to understand that the republican party does not care about, does not deserve their support or votes and only cares about the billionaires. The GOP is their enemy and not their friends. The GOP and billionaires are the workers’ enemy. They want the workers’ sweat and blood for as cheap as they can get it. These greedy people and their insatiable appetite for more leaving us with much less will not stop until we’re forced to work for scraps and fighting each other for the pittance. They will not invite you to golf with them or go hunting or to dinner with them. In fact, they are always in pursuit of ways to destroy our unions and the way of life we’ve obtain by being union. One way they are doing this is to use the court system, especially the lop-sided Supreme Court, to take away our union rights and to get more states to vote for The Right to Work, which leaves work...
