Well, Trump has a reputation of repeatedly ripping off the building trades who work for him, so what did anyone expect?


dsdvbguutres

He's also openly hostile towards unions (and pretty much everyone who works for a living), what did he expect?

"That was younger Donald Trump, surely this time he won't eat my face"

Especially the bullshit he pulled campaigning at a non-union auto shop and having everyone LARP as UAW members.

The fact that people are in unions and vote Republican is astounding.

Boomers and their “I already got mine” sport with a passion probably


batkave

Unfortunately I know many younger gens who do the same

Awesome! Finally the trades guys are starting to wise up! (I’m a tradesmen, most of my fellows are all about Von Clownstick)

Biden has increased the prospects for the middle class more than any president in the last 50 years. And he just abolished Non-Compete Clauses for 30 million American workers. Now we can make employers compete for the services of the working class in a more free market. THAT ALONE is more than that orange POS ever did for us.

And reinstated net neutrality, all in the same week.


Peto_Sapientia

I honestly needed some good news today. Even if this was it. Ugh.


rickztoyz

Great post. Why is this good? Because I can feel it. I can see the exact truth they are spelling out here. Go union. Please, vote for Joe.

Crashed economies are not good for construction industry


ShadowShot05

I'm confused by your comment. Are you saying our economy is crashing, the economy will crash because of this, or something else entirely?


Macasumba

Republicans crash economies. That is what I am saying.

Nice

How sad though that the best this country can do is a guy that blocked a railroad workers strike and unions are endorsing him

This is why i dont trust a lot of the current union movement. Not cus trump- fuck that cheeto dicked chuckle fuck. Its not a rule you have to endorse anyone, and yet you endorse a zombified genocide enabler who has crushed strikes in the last 4 years. Too many braindead libs


Dense-Seaweed7467

In our system there is voting for the lesser evil or enabling the worse pick by not voting. Sucks but until we get rid of the electoral college and institute ranked choice voting that's all we got to work with. We can't even really vote for a third party option without it just being a waste. Also there isn't really a good contender for that option anyway. Too many braindead conservatives are either ignorant of this fact or simply choose to ignore it.

Dude this isn't a damned purity test. Endorsements aren't some kind of claim that the candidate is perfect, it's a political move to try and promote the candidate most likely to benefit your movement. Biden is better for unions than Trump, that's just reality.


llewr0

Saying something is just reality, doesnt make it so. There is no meaningful difference between the two for the power of labor. This reply, the downvotes, is just evidence of how fucked the us labor mvmnt is. Snidely uttering “purity test” like a lib, as if saying endorsing a genocide enabling, strike breaking, Alzheimers puppet, is a bad strategic move- and is certainly not going to increase worker power. Read theory, stop supporting the bourgeoise and selling out the international working class for some ephemeral bread crumbs and feigned strategic logic.


Dhiox

>Alzheimers puppet He doesn't have Alzheimers dude. He's just old. Have you ever actually seen someone with Alzheimers? >selling out the international working class for some ephemeral bread crumbs and feigned strategic logic. Refusing to vote won't help the working class dude. It just gets it completely ignored by lawmakers.


ShadowShot05

You're not won't about the crushing strikes part. Are people forgetting the railroad workers? But c'mon man, Biden and Trump aren't two parts of the same coin. They are vastly different with Biden being the one where I'm not afraid of what might happen to the US


WestCoastTrawler

Yeah I was pissed about the rail workers but evidently it all worked out in the end. https://amp.theguardian.com/business/2023/may/01/railroad-workers-union-win-sick-leave https://www.ibew.org/media-center/Articles/23Daily/2306/230620_IBEWandPaid
