Get this clown out of MY Union Hall.. If Local 58 didnt have such a moronic group of socialist running it, this kind of shit wouldnt give a black eye to our unit and hall #

How is honoring one of the few groups of workers to actually fight back and win a black eye on your union? What do you consider proper union activity? What should solidarity look like?

[ramilio2]

damn could you believe this guy do labor jobs. can't even tie his shoe.

[LLORT3]

most ppl who oppose unions don't know why they oppose them, they are just repeating talking points fed them by corporate media interests

[LLORT3]

laws in usa are screwed up regarding the right to organize

the rich grease the skids in the form of campaign donations, they buy politicians to help management crush workers who agitate for better pay.

it will only get worse with the recent court decisions.

a fine example of classist superiority and misguided hostility
