A few days ago I posted that the Teamsters are polling their members to see who they should support for president. This is the result of that poll.

Unions are a communist idea to start with.
That's what makes this such a big deal. They rarely, if ever, endorse Republican candidates.
Here's a fun fact: May first (May Day) is International Worker's Day. Communists hold May 1st as a special day because that's the day Adam Weishaupt officially started the Bavarian Illuminati which eventually morphed into the Communist parties among other things.
Thanks for sharing about Weishaupt, I found this to be an interesting read.
If you have the time I highly recommend reading the book "Under the Sign of the Scorpion".
Thanks u/CrockOSuds 👈🏻
I read through the table of contents and that in itself points out so many interesting facts.
Here is a summary of the book for those who think they do not have the time to read it. Thanks for sharing!
I was a member of a union. At least half of the membership were conservative in their leanings, but the union leadership were all liberal. Why was that? I will tell you from experience it was from the conservatives being so indignant over the "leadership" of the left, and so God-damned lazy, that they rolled over and let it happen, being content to carp about it---but not being willing to do anything about it.
We have seen the same thing happening in all of our social institutions: local governments, school systems, churches. The leftists are active and the conservatives are passive carpers. The schools are a sore point. Nothing is a greater target locally for conservatives than the schools. To whom I would ask, "Where the hell were you for the past 30-40 years?." Too fucking much complacency and consequent negligence. You ignore your garden for a large part of a century and you no longer have a garden, but an invasive jungle.
One of the reasons for this are conservatives don't believe government nor any organized group has the right to tell others how to live. No matter the size or scale, fundamentally that's what these groups do. Decides how it will be for everyone else.
Just as pedos flock to children. The liberal will flock to other peoples money, and levers of control.
But you are right that we must wake up to the fact, to protect ourselves, we must get involved. We got to get our hands dirty.
Well, there is the right to lay down the law against theft, assault, murder, and trespass. The border between law and freedom is delicate. The free market hinders no one's freedom, nor do contracts. There is little freedom if there is no obligation to fulfill bargains.
But getting our hands dirty cleans the soul.
Yep. The only thing Union did for people was slave them more and turn them into Communists plus their goal was to get money from the suckers (me/past tense though) who work for the governments of the world. Meaning they are bad to the core, they do not fight for nobody, they get people in trouble.
I can't help if you joined a bad union and did nothing to move it in the right direction. But your crummy experience is no argument against unions. Any more than the (true) claim that cities tend to be liberal in their policies and thus to be condemned. By that logic, we should not have cities?
I was in a union for about 40 years, becoming active on the heels of a righteous strike for a contract that was only a continuation of the previous contract. New management (from a merger, all of them Jack Welch followers) wanted to squeeze us. They figured we would whimper and go away. We struck for 40 days, innovating in the art of striking. Our members were designated to authorize delivery of airplanes, and while we were on strike, Boeing could not deliver airplanes to customers. They could build them (only the engineers and techs were on strike, not the factory workers), but they had to park them along the length of Boeing Field---where the whole world could drive by on Interstate 5 and see how the strike was going by the length of the parked lineup. And they were running out of apron space to do the parking. At some point, not far off, the Company would have to shut down the factories, which would be real pain. The Company caved and agreed to continue the contract.
In "peacetime," the union was pretty good at monitoring contract compliance and representing members in cases of discipline or contract violation. I can tell you that management has no regard for ideas that ordinary justice is built on.
The union had an arrogant, overbearing Executive Director (paid employee), who functioned as a dictator, with the elected leadership mainly as bribed stooges. The general membership were not happy with him, but there was mainly grumbling and no action. I and a half dozen others got together and formulated an opposing "party" and a political strategy to oust this tyrant. It took 5 years, 3 election campaigns, and thousands of personal dollars, appealing directly to the membership, for us to gain control of the Executive Board. We instructed the tyrant to heel, he laughed at us ("You'll never fire me"), and we indeed fired him at our next meeting. There was immense backlash, and we were ultimately recalled and thrown out---but there was no turning back. The dictator's henchpeople were informed that any attempt to reinstate him would be met by a popular movement to decertify the union. Ulp! Sorry, Charlie, you're in the can. (From this I derived my observation "You know who is in power by who can fire whom.") So, the moral of the story is that oppression can be dispelled, but it takes dedication and courage.
Unions are only an expression of the freedom of association for the purpose of collective bargaining. If you are opposed to that, you are nothing other than a tyrant. If you don't get what you want, look in the mirror and ask yourself whether you are willing to work for what you want. What we are seeing today in the clash between the Deep State and MAGA is only what happened in my union, on a larger scale. Does this mean we should abandon constitutional government, because it leads to a Deep State? Or should we realize that we have been gliding for generations and are now met with the result of that neglect and inattention?
I didn’t join these unions, I was forced to join these creeps good for nothing because the government got the money out of our paychecks want it or not. Thanks God DeSantis got rid of the payment that it was going directly from workers to these creeps. Now nobody wants to join in Florida. They are begging people to join them, no more money for them.
There can be bad unions and good unions, just as there are bad cities and good cities. The difference is the membership. If the membership are sheep, they will get sheared.
Not in the least. It is the living demonstration of the right of free association and collective bargaining. Don't blame unions for the unbalanced legal situation created by government legislation (NLRA). Those doing labor or service have as much right to form a body to negotiate working conditions as any corporation.
The Communists (and Nazis) were so opposed to the independence of unions that they mandated that they should all be under government control.
If an individual worker is being treated unjustly by the employer (violation of contract terms), there is no one to defend him but a union.
