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.
It’s time to pick a side. You want to have and keep unions with good wages and pensions, then it’s time to pick a side. You want to keep Social Security for yourself and family, it is time to pick a side. You want to get or keep Medicare and Obama’s Affordable Care Act, then it’s time to pick a side. It is us against the billionaires. The very rich got that way off the backs of workers, and now want to strip everything away from those workers. It’s time to pick a side. The very rich can buy countries, then make the people get on their hands and knees and grovel and beg for scrapes that usually go into the dumpster. It’s time to pick a side. Is this what we want for our family and our future? It’s time to pick a side. Get ready to fight for you and your families’ lives. There is no middle ground with these greedy people for they want it all—all the money—all the power—all the land so where does this leave us when they have all the commons, like water, land and airways? It’s time to pick...
