Gross.

Examples of tankie tendencies of the DSA amd so forth? Lol this is hilarious because all the DSA does is tail democrats and cover for them.

More political theater as nothing changes for American people.

Welcome to the new web. Nothing is optimal, it's a good intro for people. The setting is there and that's what matters.

That's what I meant, but appreciate the clarification.

I just block the bots, I want to see what real people care enough to post.

Democrats placating political energy instead of fostering it is what led to Trump in the first place. More of the same does nothing to diminish that threat.

He needs to address the fact that all the green energy stimulus going to EVs has gone to non-union plants and rectify the situation immediately. That has been a huge blow to UAW.

Rank and file stand on a picket line because withholding their labor is their political power. Biden has power to put forth policy to improve working people's lives, standing on a picket line without action is just a photo op.

When a union is at the bargaining table where does their power come from? Does their power come from who they send to negotiate?

Part of the decline in union power has been the idea that union leadership, who they are and their abilities to negotiate, is what wins good contracts. This idea justifies inflated salaries which then leads to union leadership living in a class above the rank amd file members they should represent. This entire concept is referred to as business unionism.

The truth is the power of the union at the negotiating table is their ability to withhold their labor. The rank and file members hold the power, the elected leader is just a representative. Closed door negotiating delegitimizes the true power of the union which is why business owners have sold you the concept that it delegitimizes the negotiations.

Business unionism needs to die in the current labor movement.

It really sucks that it's become so commonplace for union leadership to hold closed door negotiations. Union members should be present and reporting back to fellow members on just what is on the table for the union as a collective to be on board with or fired up against.

What am I missing?

MAGA brain rot.

Why stop at single family housing?

I live in a house that was sold at below market rates, under the condition that I will also sell to the next homeowner at a below market rate, there is a fixed equity gain each year to cover general home owner costs. I own the house, the city owns the land the house is on, HOA covers outside upkeep like roofing, window cleaning and driveway maintenance. This is known as a Community Land Trust.

There is no reason this method of housing can’t also be applied to folks that live in an apartment. Fuck corporations they shouldn’t own anything.

Wowee you are really drinking that kool-aid aren’t you?

The rail road workers got everything they wanted and more.

Sick leave? You know that crucial safety issue of staying home when you can’t perform your job. How about the skeleton crews the rail companies run giving inspectors a total of 2 minutes per car to do mandatory inspections? All these issues labor was raising before the national disaster of East Palestine.

The admin followed up even if the media fell off.

Do you even know what you are championing in this statement? “CSX was the first to grant paid sick days to several of its unions and has now granted sick days to 61% of its 17,089 unionized employees.” OH boy 10k people got 4 days of sick leave, what a joke. That’s bread crumbs. It’s nothing to celebrate, that’s what the rail companies want to diffuse the public pressure.

Biden and the democrats doing such good things like preventing the working class from striking. Take the blinders off.

And the public transportation is better in your 15k town? Your criticism is BS. Could it be better? Yes, our governments (federal/state/local) has failed the working class for decades upon decades. That’s not unique to cities and at least there is incentive to build transportation along with dense urban planning, you legit can’t do that in small town America.

Such a nightmare, my wife is taking our kids to a concert at the zoo today. So horrible! They will be taking a bus (pUbLiC tRaNsPoRtAtIoN), horrifying!
