Have FBI agitators infiltrated our labor unions like the FBI did during black rights movement, feminist movement, and anti-Vietnam protests to sow the seeds of division between the factions and Malcolm X and Elijah Muhammed—to control and disrupt our labor movements from the inside?
We don’t know at this time, and is anyone in the media or government looking into this?
The war on labor and the effort to drag us back to serf wages is coming from within the White House with some labor union and MAGA members. Corporations are padding their accounts and of one greedy man instead of its workers. The war on labor is and will be fought between corporation titans and labor, and at this time the corporations will use the White House, courts and the FBI and even those at Homeland Security and I.C.E. against us.
Labor must educate our members on how counter and what tactics are being used by the corporations and government against labor and the average person in general. How many people have lost their jobs and business since the current administration took office again.
Labor needs to educate our members on how and what tactics that were used the government and corporations in the 1920s and ‘30s, We have the play books used back then to succeed against the latest attack on workers today. We must educate our workers about this fight and how best to fight back to protect our rights, our unions and our lives.
It is all in our history—the good to the bad—and the ugly.
We know we have supporters of the current administration in our unions, which seems like an oxymoron. Why would workers support an administration that is hellbent on destroying our protections on every level?
I would not be surprised to learn that the FBI is working right beside people in our union offices and on the job in some fashion. This is really happening so let’s protect and expose them while we still can before they do great damage to us and our way of life. Damage that we may not be able to repair.
They will try to divide the CIO and the AFL. Also, between the trade labor must not fall for any of these tactics.
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 ...
