Paul158 Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 This should get really interesting. It looks like he is losing his popularity with the unions. Maybe he should send old Pete or maybe Kamala' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plasmodium Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 He went there to support them, so maybe the dude is an idiot. No idea which company he works for, but he might not even have a company to work for if Biden and Barack Obama hadn’t gone to bat for GM 14-15 years ago.

From your link: “Although Scott specifically cited a case of firing federal workers at the campaign event, his comments were widely taken as hostile toward all union activity.” Scott actually said: "Ronald Reagan gave us a great example when federal employees decided they were going to strike.” Scott’s campaign responded: “Sen. Scott has repeatedly made clear, both at that event and others, that Joe Biden shouldn't leave taxpayers on the hook for any labor deal.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigbrog Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Ahhh....good ole hypocrisy in full display in this thread...first off are the people who have consistently said they are against the government bailing out big corp, but yet now are touting when that in fact happened (i.e., the car manufacturers getting bailed out)...then they are all for the union workers, yet vote for and support candidates that are going to drastically impact those same union workers in a very negative way. Can't make this stuff up... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does this impact work, exactly? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you actually cared about those people, you should be 100% pro strike, no questions asked. We all benefit from labor militancy. That's where we got the weekend folks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ban Basketball Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 As one who lives where one of the biggest John Deere plants in the world is I am beyond puzzled as to how and why Republicans supported those striking union workers a couple of years ago, yet are now against striking union workers again. As always, someone is telling them how to think Owner of over two decades of the most dangerous words on the internet! In fact, during the short life of this forum, me's culture has been cancelled three times on this very site! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
