Unions see the writing on the wall: a direct annihilation of the right to organize. The war is on. The economy is set for destruction.
Organized for a general strike 3 1/2% of the population the general population has to show up in the streets day after day.
Do not buy anything you do not need from large corporations. Tell them why you stopped. They finance the stuff.

Postal vote forms sent out by the major parties are just a data harvesting operation. While not illegal they are misleading and unethical

Unions in the United States better pay attention and I’m sure they are. It’s not gonna stop with Mexican farm labor.
Every union in the United States should consider a strike at this point just based on what’s happening.
Push back immediately
This is just a coincidence...

for those wondering about #Wisconsin, two words: #LABOR #UNIONS

"As Florida officials enable Trump’s mass deportation policies, lawmakers in the state are looking to children to take on some of the jobs that have typically been done by immigrants.
Making its way through the state Senate is a new law, Senate Bill 918, that aims to loosen child labor laws and allow teenagers to work overnight shifts."

"Proponents say working in person full-time will boost productivity, but experts say that women will pay a unique price...Now it appears that many women rely on remote work to succeed at home and in their professional role. CNBC’s annual Women at Work survey recently found that about a quarter of respondents said their work-life balance had improved over the last year. They attributed the change primarily to having a more flexible schedule. "
The termination emails were riddled w/mistakes — w/employees’ names, the month of April & even the institute’s title misspelled in places — a telling sign of the rushed & haphazard nature of the operation….
By Saturday morning, the terminated #USIP headquarters staff were already discussing filing a class-action lawsuit & were debating whether to sign their termination documents.
In the latest action, employees were instructed to sign a 4-pg letter ordering them to return all #USIP property while agreeing to forgo all future claims against the institute. It ordered them not to disclose any terms of the agreement in exchange for 1 month of #HealthInsurance & a monthly stipend paid for an unspecified period. Those who refuse to sign, the letter said, will lose all #benefits as of Monday.
