The AFL/CIO needs to start kicking some union ass. All unions must start having meetings and having union-oriented speakers and focus their meetings on their union history and struggles to get started and how to keep our unions. It's up to us.
Unions did not just happen. There was blood spilled in the streets and many spent time in jail, and some even died for the union cause. Men, women and children were burned alive in tents, like at Ludlow, Colorado.
Our union members’ families need to know what is going to happen with the GOP in charge they are out to destroy our unions. There is no one coming to our rescue.
Forbes identified 902 billionaires on its 2025 list, but in 2024 the World Population Review reports there are 813. At what point does a person realize they have more money than they need or will spend in their life times.
They want low wages, no benefits, no healthcare, not even Social Security. They want slave labor so they can become trillionaires.
So at every meeting there should be videos or films on the union struggles—past and present—what they went through and what we arguing to do to keep our way of life. The members who get upset about who or what they will have to vote for in any election may reconsider falling for fake promises and out right liesthat Republicans promise or any candidate. Democrats may not always articulate their messages well (promoting fads), but very few have screwed over the unions. When people vote, they have to keep their unions in mind or less kiss their benefits and protections goodbye and take a nonunion job with low wages and no benefits. Most union members want people who they can trust behind their backs.
Now the officers who are worried about losings votes to stay in office or getting elected to a union office need to get a backbone. If they don’t we will have no unions, and to rebuild what we have today will take 40 years or more. Maybe this is what it will take for the new people to come alive.
I have my retirement and healthcare, I just hope I can keep it.
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...
