Work Reform

Him speaking at the RNC was not in and of itself bad--i heard him justify it later and he made some good points, that there are a lot of exploited workers in the base who could stand to hear the benefits of unions from a union leader instead of just hearing Fox propaganda. But to look at the tax cuts, the benefit cuts, and the tariff outcomes and double down on Trump makes it abundantly clear where his loyalties lie--his own pockets, and maybe his own prejudices.

At this point I'm starting to wonder if they have something on him. Of course, it could just be garden-variety corruption.

This is crazy. At best he himself has fallen for the propaganda. Gotta vote him out ASAP.

It's crazy that such a toxic political party intent on hurting as many people as possible will ever help anyone who works with them. The teamsters are being driven by a man that will steal their benefits, protections, and cut their pay permanently.

What's with these top union people being so blatantly stupid, näive and gullible? The conservatives of pretty much every western country are liars, all of them. How stupid do you have to be to believe the word of people who lie so much it's basically their brand at this point.

I knew he was nuts, but my god, that font choice! Did he type that on a 1920s typewriter?

Also he's a fucking scumbag.

Boston disowns that motherfucker

I was reading this and thinking it's not that bad; that this is an over-exaggeration. However, it then goes on to say that Trump is trying to "Make America Great Again" and includes Republican endorsements, and even a letter from one. It says nothing about what Democrats are doing, or others. Yeah, fuck that. If you want to be bipartisan, then fine. That's probably a good idea to get the best outcomes. This isn't bipartisan though! This is incredibly one sided and partisan —in favor of Republicans.

This is not surprising given any previous interactions with teamsters management. I thought they were slimy and I was on the corporate side of the equation.

Also to be clear fuck corps, hurray unions.

That’s been official for a while. The IUEC under their presidents leadership bullies out women and black peoples by committing collusionary crimes on them. Tactics like sexual assault and threats of lynching are very commonplace and used by union officials. The EEOC is toothless so this behavior continues even though our tax dollars prop up these apprenticeships. I think a lot of these male dominated segregated construction trades don’t actually believe in civil rights. I do think McCarthyism made the problem worse. I think some like the IBEW are actually changing. Unfortunately, I’ve lost any hope that this will change in our lifetime so these heavily subsidized paths to the middle class are blocked based on race/sex.

Why is every sentence a new paragraph? This is the kind of typesetting you use when you have to fill a certain number of pages and have run out of things to say. And what's up with the typewriter font?

That formatting. Ugh. I'm all for use of ~~bold~~, underline and italic so long as they're creative. Dude wouldn't even use italics because he thinks they aren't white enough ffs

teamsters have always been conservative leaning compared to other unions, police unions dont count as they arnt a true union.

Where's the mob when you need them
