Each blog I write from here on out could be my last. I don’t know if or when they will shut me down, but I will keep the blog going for as long as I can. I’m not engaging in hyperbole, not with what is coming at us in January.
We need to protect and defend the National Labor Relations Board. When Trump was last in office, he systematically eliminated workers’ rights to join unions and negotiate collective bargaining with employers—this not only hurt employees, but their communities and the economy overall.
Trump weakened worker protections and actively worked at eliminating rules that protected workers.
We need to keep the NLRB for all workers, for organizing workers and nonunion workers and build a workers’ union that is much stronger than the MAGA or the old Tea Party. Our unions will fight and win.
The benefits unions fight for eventually work their way down to nonunion workers. If MAGAs weren’t so hellbent on owning the Libs, they, too, would enjoy a four-day work-week with full pay, healthcare, free education or trade school, child care, a living wage and no taxes on Social Security—all things that make life easier for all of us.
It’s imperative we build the strongest unions and stand together on these things to make the USA the best and safest place in the world to work, live, and raise a family. It can be done if we work together for each other and not for the billionaires, who just want more power and money by exploiting their workers. Why is it they and their families can have the best healthcare, live in any country they choose and buy elections, and we can't?
It’s time the workers get their fair share of the profits with increased wages.
Now that we are losing our president, who supported unions, it won’t be long before history repeats itself and the government begins attacking our unions, raids our union halls and puts our union leaders and members in jail, it is all in the labor history books. The Trump people are going to use Project 2025 to destroy us—their plan is in black and white waiting for you to read it.
Project 2025 will be the death of our pensions and good paying union jobs. There will be no one to help but our unions.
Perhaps the unions could start running ads on television, the internet, like on YouTube, that educates and shows people what is at stake if we don’t band together.
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...
