Unionise and fight for your family

[depotoo]

The attacks on labor unions has some merit, but not any where near what is claimed by the usual character assassins. We are a consumer driven economy, fair wages and benefits fought for by labor unions have what made America Great.

It seems some Pols and voters have forgotten the social problems which were created during the Gilded Age: Poverty and Violence.

They fought until they ran jobs out of America...

the American war on labor never ceases to amaze me in it's ability to create an atmosphere where they eat their own.....~S~

I find it strange that there is such antipathy towards unions in the US. Most of those commenting on here are right wing loons parroting extremist nonsense but even they must see the absurdity in what they say. As work becomes more automated and corporations dominate governments who is looking out for the individual?

Please don't forget the other factor which has created the animus for Labor Unions: GREED. The salary for CEO's is obscene, and let no one forget, the Tax Fraud passed by the Republican Majority in both Chambers of a lame duck Congress, and signed by the Republican President has given 2/3 of the benefits to Corporations, and 1/3 to the working men and women in America, and their 1/3 will shrink each year and disappear in 2027.

Honey, ceo’s make what their leftist lawyers can get for them.
Minorities and women have been the winners of the tax cuts. Give it up.

GREED is what ruined the unions.

Really? What has the Tax Fraud done to benefit the workers? As local fees and taxes rise, and when real estate and state income taxes rise, the standard deviation remains static, and sunsets in 2027. The people who build the cars, sell the products, clean the buildings, etc. created the business or industry's success, and yet the CEO's are paid handsomely.

What does this have to do with Labor Unions?

There are several reasons for this.

Big Labor is far, far left here in America. They seek to implement a socialist agenda, and a lot of Americans are familiar with what that meant to Venezuelan and Cuban people among others.

Big Labor seeks to actually FORCE people into compliance with their dictate and are very violent here in America. The people saw what happened in Homestead PA where they attacked and killed Rent a Cops that were merely seeking to report to work and protect a steel mill that was under attack.

Big Labor has become incredibly rich from the money they skim from people's pay envelopes. They just don't want to become mobbed up.

Big Labor established " work rules" which cause the death of employment by stymieing employers.

Everlane is the latest millennial brand to face allegations of unfair treatment of workers

Last week, Everlane’s Customer Experience team announced that it was unionizing. The team, which is comprised entirely of part-time workers, felt that they were being treated unfairly by the company which has branded itself as radically transparent and ethical. The Customer Experience team is responsible for handling everything from fit recommendations to tracking lost packages.

“We are a remote, part-time Customer Experience team for an industry-leading fashion E-commerce brand,” the union statement, which was posted to Twitter, said. “We are uniting our voices to ask for a negotiated contract that includes terms commensurate with the vital role we play as the outward face of the company.”

In their statement, and in comments made to Vice, team members said that they were given inconsistent and inflexible hours, low pay, and unclear objectives. Because they worked remotely, the team was unable to consistently communicate with each other.

Its heartening to see people stand up and be heard. This is the America we know and love.

In reality unions are criminal organization who shake down employers and employees

Once again: Retired at 54 with a 40K buyout, pension and medical benefits. The union really ruined my life you envious Loser!

so you were a union leader...ok

Union leaders do very well here in America. Hanging out and drinking, playing cards at the Italian Club, driving nice cars, going out to Vegas, hobnobbing with the other Made Men.

I don't begrudge anyone anything, but if someone doesn't want to sponsor your lifestyle, they just shouldn't have to.

How do you define, "far far left"?

It seems you ignore that we have slowly become a Plutocracy, beginning with President Reagan and exploding under trump.

Read this, and then respond:

How Big Companies Won New Tax Breaks From the Trump Administration

From this ^^^ LINK:

"The overhaul of the federal tax law in 2017 was the signature legislative achievement of Donald Trump’s presidency.

"The biggest change to the tax code in three decades, the law slashed taxes for big companies, part of an effort to coax them to invest more in the United States and to discourage them from stashing profits in overseas tax havens.

"Corporate executives, major investors and the wealthiest Americans hailed the tax cuts as a once-in-a-generation boon not only to their own fortunes but also to the U.S. economy.

"But big companies wanted more — and, not long after the bill became law in December 2017, the Trump administration began transforming the tax package into a greater windfall for the world’s largest corporations and their shareholders. The tax bills of many big companies have ended up even smaller than what was anticipated when the president signed the bill."

In the first paragraph the effort to coax more investment in the US and not hide it oversees is laughable, few corporations did anything other than buy back their own stock.

Keep in mind the last phrase of the third paragraph, when those noted it would be a boom to the U.S. Economy. It has helped those of us invested in the Stock Markets, but the national average of American's live on + or - $50,000 a year,; they live pay check to pay check and don't benefit from stocks and bonds.
