Project 2025 calls for OT rates to start at the 160th Hour Worked In A Month instead of the 40th hr in a week. That way employers can work you like dogs for two weeks, then lay you off when you get close to the 160 mark and bring in someone else. Be warned, brothers.

Hey fellas, I don't wanna sound too doomerish here but we're screwed. We just watched our union brothers and sisters wipe away the four best years unions have had in half a century because they thought it was manly to vote for Trump.

It's so goddamn manly to vote against our own interests! Hooray!

Discussion Let the MAGA Union members know—you’re either for unions or for Trump. Not Both.

7.1k Upvotes

By voting for Trump, union members are actively fighting to destroy their own livelihoods. They are actively fighting against their ability to put food on their table. They are actively fighting against being able to pay their bills. They are actively fighting against having PTO and the privilege of spending time with their families. If you are a MAGA Trumper, you are not a union brother or sister of mine.

If you did not know, let me spell it as clear as I can.

TRUMP WANTS TO DESTROY OUR ABILITY TO COLLECTIVELY BARGAIN BY PASSING PRO BUSINESS LAWS THAT LIMIT A UNION’S POWER AND ALLOWS YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN TO BE EXPLOITED.

This is a one issue election, and the issue is whether you want to make MONEY or you want to be EXPLOITED.

Vote Harris like your union depends on it, because it does.

Discussion I just destroyed my grandpas argument on why he thinks unions shouldn’t exist

2.0k Upvotes

So me and him were talking about how large Amazon was and he told me how they don’t have unions (idk if its true or not) and his argument for why we don’t need unions is because “the company can provide all the car for their workers, if the workers have a issue they can simply go to management or HR.” I replied “well, who puts these companies in check? Unions. You do know companies can abuse their people right” and my grandpa says “sure, but well as long as they have management to go to they can report it” I told him how that’s literally contradictory. “And what do you do when management is abusive? Or HR? Or the damn CEO? Who makes sure the company doesn’t set policies that violate the law?” He kinda sat there and started thinking and he finally replies with his best (which is the shittiest) final argument “well unions give workers a place to gather, and that can mean they can abuse their power to demand the management to do things for the workers, and the company would have to follow! Which is communist! And they will demand higher wages which crushes the economy!” I laughed and just replied with “sure, grandpa” and walked away from him. That was all I needed to hear to know arguing with him about this was useless with his no logic thinking on unions.

Discussion The amount of anti biden hate in this section is utterly deranged

6.8k Upvotes

It's insane reading the amount of anti biden comments here and folks spewing disinformation about Biden. Don't vote for biden but don't spew disinformation

-seems like alot of folks don't realize biden got the railroads workers paid sick leave the following year by threatening to withhold federal money from the railroads.

-Biden saved the pension fund of over 350k union employees by issuing the biggest bailout in decades. Big banks always get bailed out and workers get thrown to the curb. This cost tens of billions of dollars and NEVER happens

-bidens FTC was the first FTC to successfully block a corporate merger cuz it would hurt labor and they changed the merger guidelines to ensure any mergers moving forward can't hurt labor. This is biggest thing the FTC could've done. They just blocked the Kroger merger this week in the name of labor .

-bidens NLRB is the most pro union agency in over 50+ years. Jennifer abruzo bringing back the silk doctrine is the most pro union action action the nlrb has done in 50+ years

  • biden has required federal infrastructure projects (50k+ projects) to be done by union labor only or collective bargaining agreement

  • bidens EEOC nd NLRB have ruled more in favor for employees versus employers than any other time in history

-bidens inflation reduction act has brought hundreds of thousands of new union jobs into the mix as folks are needed to install heat pumps and solar panels

-Folks here don't realize how big of a deal it is to have a NLRB that's in your favor. I had a cousin who recently got her job back cuz the agency ruled in her favor for a union busting tactic her employer tried deploying. The ONLY federal agency that protects our job is the NLRB. It's like having a insurance plan on your job. When you get fired or something bad happens you want THE BEST nlrb to save your ass which is what we have RIGHT NOW.

Biden is old as hell but he's easily been the most pro union president we've ever had in 50+ years.

Edit: the amount of clueless folks responding is something fascinating to watch. Utterly clueless about how the NLRB/EEOC function
