These Union Workers Need To Be Fired - All Of Them

PATCO had a non-strike clause in their contracts because air traffic controllers are critical personnel. They violated that clause and Reagan was certainly justified in firing them after a warning to go back to work.
Seeing as tho when you are asked a question about A LEGAL CURRENT STRIKE INVOLVING NON-FEDERAL EMPLOYEES to talk about a totally different situation from 40 years ago is a weak attempt at backing the corporations against the collective bargaining rights of workers without being bold enough to say it.....
 
Haley is wrong. I have no idea why she said it-though it may have predated Biden knifing the railroad unions in the back.
She said it yesterday...

next excuse

I am leaning more towards, whatever right-wingers say doesn't really mean shit because they will just say the opposite depending on what they want to lie about next
 
No it isn't. If you collectively bargain you can collectively get a raise and you can collectively get fired, obviously.

The union workers could collectively demand a 1 hour work decade with free medical care, hookers and cocaine, otherwise they'll STRIKE until they get it.

And they could also get collectively fired if the company thinks their demands are outrageous.
then everyone would be fired.....when the union puts in their very first "demand"......the management always say ....OUTRAGEOUS!!.....

yep....they knew what they may be getting into.....shitty union leader......
 
Keystone pipeline was to transport tar sands from Canada, ultimately destined for China. And tar sands are only viable when oil prices are high.
Any petroleum product shortage relates to all oil available on the market... no tar sands equal higher prices...
No refinery quality crude equals higher prices....
its all connected....
What Biden did to our energy supply both public and strategic supplies is criminal in my view....

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.
 

"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.

Auto workers are technically not federal employees though. The air traffic controllers were and as such were not allowed to strike. Thanks to Barack Obama, however, the U.S. Government became owner of General Motors when it went bankrupt and I believe still owns one third of it. So I wonder if that makes their employees technically federal workers?
 
Who are you trying to fool?

You really think Democrats control wages and benefits of private companies?
Both YOU and Biden are crowing about an economy where your money is worth almost 20% less than the year he was elected!

It's like taking a twenty percent pay cut!

So, yeah...the point stands.

They ruin everything they touch.... The economy sank in Biden's first three months in office... facts don't lie fool....
 
Conservatives have selective memories as they conveniently forget the economy of last year of Trumps disastrous presidency
The last year of Trump's economy we were under a covid shut down largely run by democrat governors... and it was still a better economy than today... inflation was in check employment was returning and gas was still affordable... Credit card debt was lower than today and so was auto repos....
And unions were not striking...

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

Unlike the booming economy Trump inherited from Obama
 
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
Everyone gets a raise or no one works. Of course you lunatics don't give a shit about suppliers who will not be working or the consumer who will be pay more for cars. All part of the elites plan to get as many people as they can relying on the benevolence of the Federal Government. You suckers fall for this shit every time.
