I can just hear the conversations between these workers on the picket line. I've been on a strike line before myself personally, i've those conversations, even with rocks flying over your head even..

Types, of things you might hear:

- What the hell are these M.F. thinking man? Hell, we can't afford to live much less pay the rent! And, these SOBs making billions of dollars every 6 months! WTF.
- Hell, they keep adding task to me job, how much more productive do that want me to be? Tell that damn CEO to get off his ass and start handing the damn checks and the raise out!
-They wanna take what? That benefit away from us? And, cut what away from the damn insurance ? What are are they doing to the Pension Plan?
-Their taking what "Language out of the contract?"
-Hell, tell the Union we ain't going back until this shit stops, and we want something! We want key language in the contract, money! benefits increases, and those damn supervisors off our damn backs in back dept. or else we will have the shop stewards living all day down there on their asses!!
-Tell the union "We ain't voting to come back off strike, until we get it!, or else they going elected out!"
-Tell them union attorneys, a bonus if they come through
- We want the federal mediator in here too if shit keeps up!
-Get more TV Cameras down here! Get the word out these oppressive corporate scumbags, new PR on them.
- Call the teamsters up, tell them get a drive by,
 
Unions just got a rare bit of good news from the Supreme Court (msn.com)

This is important to understand from this article. This is in regards to the Public Sector Unions.

Please read the full article. It's not very long. They should not be doing this to begin with. The Janus II is total BS, I don't think the Supreme Court will give them that, even with a 6-3 court. However, this needs to be rectified.

Private Sector Unions, I don't how this is applying ? I'm not up on that right now?

janus v. AFSCME, briefly explained​

The 2018 Janus case involved what are alternatively referred to as “agency fees” or “fair share fees” — fees that unions collect from non-members, to reimburse the union for services provided to those individuals.

By law, unions must represent every worker in a unionized shop, regardless of whether each individual worker joins the union. If a union contract provides that every worker gets a 5 percent raise, for example, that raise must go to everyone in the shop, including workers who choose not to join the union.

This arrangement creates a free-rider problem. If workers receive all the benefits negotiated by a union without having to pay to join the unions, then many workers will elect not to join the union. If too many workers make that decision, the union will be starved of the funds that it needs to operate and will collapse — and then no one will receive the benefits of unionization.

According to a 2021 paper by the Economic Policy Institute’s Larry Mishel, “the union wage premium — the percentage-higher wage earned by those covered by a collective bargaining contract — is 13.6 percent overall.” So workers typically are better off if they work in a unionized shop, even if they have to pay a small percentage of their wages as fees to the union.

Agency fees are a common solution to the free-rider problem. Often, when a union negotiates a contract with an employer, that contract will include a provision allowing the union to charge such fees to non-members, which reimburse the union for the cost of providing its services to those non-members.

Many states, however, have so-called “right-to-work” laws, which prohibit agency fees. In Janus I, the Supreme Court held that public-sector unions are forbidden from charging such fees anywhere in the country. So public-sector unions are now under a “right-to-work” regime even in states that reject such laws.

Janus I also marked a major shift in the Supreme Court’s caselaw. In Abood v. Detroit Board of Education (1977), the Court held that public-sector unions could lawfully charge agency fees to non-members. So, from 1977 until 2018, agency fees weren’t just legal, they were legal because the highest Court in the land said they were legal. Janus overruled Abood.
 
I've maintained that people stopped voting "for" in the mid-seventies. That was when they started voting "against" and it's gone on that way pretty much since.
 
Years approx
72' People voted for Nixon.
77' People voted against Ford.
80' People voted against Carter
84' Reagan gets 2nd term votes for but it's as first "celebrity personality" President
88' Bush capitalizes on Reagan's 'personality cult' but ultimately
92' People voted against Bush Sr
96' People voted for Clinton
20' People voted against Clinton
04' People voted for war President
08' People vote against Bush Jr
12' People vote for Obama
16' People vote against Everyone
20' People vote against Trump

For's (since 76) = 5
Against's = 7

Generally your "for's" have been slightly cult-personality on first terms and that "2nd term" affinity thing you guys do for "knowing" an in-office President.
 
And, we are a Trash country now, because of it.

Before that people voted FOR: LBJ, JFK, Truman, IKE, “ 4 term FDR “ ( and, a band of 2 socialist parties, and 1 communist party along with stacks of Unions ) that battled us out of the Great Depression.

The Dems held the senate and Congress for about 60 years. For the longest!!

That Damn Socialism again, that people voted for 😉, and boy did they ever vote FOR it.

And, the proclaimed, capitalist Republicans want their socialism too! Only their making sure the keep the peons, and the minions voting AGAINST their own best interest to keep cutting their own throats.

Harsh Capitalism for the worker; Lavish Socialism for the failing bloated Capitalist.

😉

But the point is your not the only country it's happening in. It's been pretty much the same here since the late 70's.
And even England became a vote "against" not a vote "for".

And, that’s all part of the global effort of the billionaire oligarchs world wide 🌎 working together. But, of course. That goes without saying. That’s why their called multi National corporations working across oceans.

It’s called globalism. George HW Bush used to say “New World Order.”

Well, what the fuck did all the dumb asses think he was talking about ? When he was throwing that term around ?

Then, they started using Globalization as the term. All of this didn’t include you, me, unions, the working man, the poor, your welfare, your kids futures, the environment, your social security, your health, your quality of life, or any fucking thing you wanna mention.

Don’t matter if you live in Canada, US, Europe, look what the did to Greece, the rest of the planet.

They have been at this since well before feudalism, and since Capitalism started, and Karl Marx caught on to the Bastards in print.

If you remember the special post I made on the forum, with Yanis !!!




Your 1970’s Time Line toward ( US and Globally), for which you have typed above can only explained by watching this ^

There is one term that explains it: Bretton Woods. This explains your time line.

And, Remember a man called Richard Nixon.

I’m sorry, but you’re going to have to watch the whole thing.

There’s no secret why it began in the 1970’s, and who was doing it.

We need to quit making making ourselves stupid. That stupid fucking brainwashed Neo liberal retard belief, that we are all capitalist.

For the people that believe it, I say try it in hell and see how far it gets you?
 
PS. This was the master plan, that was going on in the 70’s hardly anyone was aware of, which set the stage, for the disastrous 1980’s. Reagan, Thatcher, and other Neo Liberals around the world.

The taking down of FDR post war policies, World Wide globally.

Trickle down, recessions, and forget those Bad Supreme Court Justices Nixon appointed!!! Remember Justice Powell !!!?

remember all the bad stuff we’re living with today, because of Powell ? we suffer today because of it!

While everyone was DISCOING and DANCING 🕺 serious harm was being inflicted.

which only appeared in the 1980’s and 40 years later.

And, let us not forget, that is even a picnic compared to the 6-3 mess we have now.

And, yet still let me drive the point home even further. The CHINESE understood BRETTEN WOODS "So well" yes, the Chinese understood Bretton Woods like a fine tooth comb. They learned the lesson of FDR, unlike Neo Liberal Americans have today.


1 hour 6 min. mark ----- 1 hour 10 min. 40 sec mark. He responds to Bolton's question response about China. And, he tells how China understood Bretton Woods, and what they did, and how they changed. This is why they are packing our lunch today! And, toward the end, he explains why Joe Biden, is having a hard time, with China. Listen carefully, the example on Amazon! You'll understand who controls Biden in the background, who really is calling the shots, in the great American Empire. And, why China is the way it is! Well, no wonder.

John Bolton got his ASS handed to him in this debate !! He's to much of a cold war hawk, he really out of his league in this debate. Yanis clean his clock. Bolton started out in the first few mins. at this intellectual, academic debate by calling Yanis a Marxist commie. And Buddy did Yanis, let him have it when it was his turn to talk! He spanked Bolton's ass like a kid!

37:00 --- 47:00 Bolton Insults Yanis, replies.

Even Jimmy Carter Told everyone, including trump, "don't ever pick John Bolton for anything." Bolton is a TURD.
 
**** And, No Banks allowed in the room !! FDR didn’t allow them in; and China didn’t allow them in the room either!!

So, the Chinese agreed with FDR and his plan of Bretton Woods. They didn’t want any banks in either!

But, the neoliberals can’t see that. Nor can morons in the GOP, Trumpanzee, nor could Richard Nixon who tore it all down in the 70’s. Or, the disastrous 40 years that followed.
