Unions pledge walkoffs, job actions to support 'Black Lives Matter' before election

I'd be willing to bet that most of the people who are threatening to "stop working" aren't productive in the first place and won't be missed, even if they have been showing up somewhere to sit around and play with their phones for 8 hours.

Done seen them types plenty of times before they were justifiably fired.

Does this help or hurt Trump? Quite a coordinated effort and it will only anger average Americans.

Also, do they realize what more outsourcing to China will do? Not the brightest in the box, though of course they will pretend it has to do with BLM, not politics.

Unions pledge walkoffs, job actions to support 'Black Lives Matter' before election

Unions representing millions of workers, from teachers to truck drivers, pledged to ramp up protests in the leadup to the presidential election, with walkouts aimed at forcing local and federal lawmakers to pass police reform and address what they described as systemic racism.

In a statement first shared with The Associated Press on Saturday, labor leaders from America's biggest public and private sector unions said they would organize walkouts for teachers, autoworkers, truck drivers and clerical staff, among others.

“The status quo — of police killing Black people, of armed white nationalists killing demonstrators, of millions sick and increasingly desperate — is clearly unjust, and it cannot continue,” says the statement from several branches of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, the Service Employees International Union, and affiliates of the National Education Association.

AFSCME, SEIU, and NEA include liberal membership that typically votes Democrat by margins as high as 80%.

There is no status quo of police killing black Americans....number of black Americans in America? 44 million.

Number of unarmed blacks killed by police.....? 15

Number of unarmed blacks attacking police before they were killed? 6

Out of 44,000.000

Black Americans are just the pawns of the democrat party.....and the joe biden voters in the terrorist groups black lives matter and antifa don't care one little bit about black Americans...as we see when they burn, loot, beat and murder blacks and burn down their businesses in primarily black neighborhoods in democrat party controlled cities.....

This is what is wrong with the country. People only care about how something affects their politics. People don't matter, only their politics matter.

Yes, which is why a hundred million blacks can murder themselves in Chicago while only one white cop kills a black man and then that one murder is all that matters

It's a hundred million now? It could be 500 hundred million and it doesn't excuse a cop needlessly killing someone. If it does we can just go ahead and excuse them all.

They didn't needlessly shoot jacob blake, the man who beat and raped the woman who called the police....and they didn't kill George Floyd....the 2X lethal dose of fentanyl did that........

With about 3 million police interactions with the public there were 15 unarmed blacks killed by the police.....less than unarmed whites killed by police....and of those at least 6 or more were actively attacking the police.......

Trump says it wasn't justified. Oddly I keep on bringing this up and it keeps on getting ignored.

What wasn't justified? Try identifying what you are blathering about.

I'm still waiting on what politics I am pushing. What others might or might not be doing is irrelevant. You can't state it because you know it would be bogus.

Try reading what has been posted already. Post # 29. That might help.
