These Union Workers Need To Be Fired - All Of Them

[Rambunctious]

Now you are getting there Skippy
That is the economy Biden inherited

Unlike the booming economy Trump inherited from Obama

You know you are full of shit... you must... we all lived it dummy...

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

They were, by and large.

So is AsherN lying or just stupid?

Auto workers are technically not federal employees though.

When the Gub'Mit steps in, and starts to dictate terms of employment , they are literally nationalizing them FF

"Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) praised then-President Reagan's firing of thousands of striking federal workers when asked Monday about the ongoing United Auto Workers strike. "I think Ronald Reagan gave us a great example when federal employees decided they were going to strike," Scott said Monday in Iowa during a campaign event. "He said, you strike, you're fired. Simple concept to me to the extent that we can use that once again."

Federal law, according to the National Labor Relations Board, prohibits workers from being fired for "participating in a protected strike or picketing against" one's employer, though not all strikes are protected. Scott's campaign said his comments dealt entirely with federal workers rather than the UAW strike. The UAW comprises non-federal workers. Biden last Friday urged U.S. automakers to share more of their "record profits" with striking union workers - Scott criticized President Biden, who has dubbed himself as the "most pro-union president ever." The percentage of American workers who are members of a union fell to a new low in 2022 despite the total number of unionized workers increasing. 71% of Americans approved of labor unions in 2022, the highest mark recorded by Gallup since 1965."




It was smart for Scott to bring up the firing of federal workers when asked about striking union workers, because it is always fun to fire federal employees because they aren't real people anyway with real jobs - and if you get any blowback for implying we should fire non-federal union workers; just run the "Oh, we were just talking about federal workers" defense -- even tho the question asked was about non-federal employees.

I think it is a winning policy to be anti-union, because for the most part, unions are bad news; they have far too much power - just look at what they have done in the last few decades; forced corporations to pay them overtime; forced them to give them vacation and sick leave, subsidize their medical insurance, it's just insane....

Over the years, conditions have been very unfair to the corporate/wealth class ; so this recent power grab by the unions will backfire as most people will view the unions as being pro-Democrat, pro woke (especially since the largest portion of union membership are black workers) - all of these things make unions even less popular and the corporate elite more popular. So Tim Scott and the GOP really needs to do whatever they can to make it easier to fire these strikers both in Detroit and Hollywood.

Federal employees are certainly real people, they don’t have the right to strike though

If they do they should be fired like Reagan correctly did

Reading comprehension, look it up. Tar sands are only viable to process when oil is expensive because unlike traditional production, tar sands are expensive to extract and refine.

Cash Cows for Corporate Cowboys. Homo Erectus Defeats Homo Sapiens.

That expense is only temporary. Advances in technology can make it cheaper.

High IQs create all the excess wealth of the plutocracy. That's why the ruling class structures schools to take away their pride.

Reagan had the power to fire striking federal workers who posed a threat to the orderly running of the Country but it seems that there is mixed support by both sides for striking auto workers. Let them strike and run out of money if that's what the want.

 

[Lastamender]

Republicans are once again showing they are anti-worker

Time and again they advocate policies that limit the rights of workers while providing corporations with a low wage workforce.

Scott advocating “fire them all” is an attack on collective bargaining

And all the illegals let in will be paid top dollar? There is your source of cheap labor. You are killing any chances of success in any inner city. Guess what minority it hurts the most.

I thought they were destined for Texas refineries.

Key word "ultimately". To be refined in Texas but sent to Chinise buyers.

That's what we do best, refine crappy oil into useful products.
A nice thing about refining it here is that the products are available if we need them.

 

[Muhammed]

No, by law they are protected

It's not illegal to fire them if they don't do their job, plain and simple.

 

[Muhammed]

then everyone would be fired.....when the union puts in their very first "demand"......the management always say ....OUTRAGEOUS!!.....

Liar.

Nobody should have applied for those jobs or shown up after Reagan fired them. Imagine how great it would have been if nobody showed up and ground things to a halt. People would of course had complained that "somebody needs to do that job.". No job "has to be done".

Liar.

He wasn't asked about federal employees, he was asked bout UAW members who do have a right to strike.....was Tim Scott's answer just stupid or is he saying that these working class auto-workers should be fired?

These people are not earning low wages and have great benefits. Republicans are for the little people not having to pay high prices for things. Inflation hurts the poor and minorities more and excessive wage demands add to inflation, which is social injustice. Republicans ARE for the poor working man being able to afford groceries. The left don't seem to give a shit.

The reality is many of them have to join the union to work, many Demafascsit run states have created laws protecting their Union boss political donors that force membership on people to get a job. These union bosses, like the one at UAW, make over half a million a year

 

[hadit]

Yes, no matter how much he backtracks and claims he was just talking about federal workers -- we know what he really meant

Mind-readers of the world, unite!!

There's a reason why these people are stereotyped as being mobsters, because they are.

He wasn't ASKED ABOUT FEDERAL EMPLOYEES -- the topic was the UAW strike you fucking moron

That is why his press office had to backtrack and clarify.....because everyone except your stupid ass knows that the only relevant strike going on is the LEGAL ONE THAT IS HAPPENING TODAY -- not one from 40 years ago
