But the union membership and leadership, save for UAW Shawn Fain, like Teamsters Sean O’Brien - among others - backed 🍊💩stain once again as most other unions have for decades while the rethuglicans continue to pass “right to work laws”, push legislation to make labor unions illegal, while the heads of industry continue to cash in, lower workplace safety, and automate. Wonder how much O’Brien was paid under the table to get chinned.

And when you say teamsters you include the UFCW which turns its head at immigration labor because the union heads receive kickbacks you are not going to receive a single bit of mail voting from many of us.

With the ports slowing down, FAFO with laid off workers at the parts and truck drivers too.

This goes back to all of the corruption in your organization ls in the ‘60s and ‘70s and then the knee bending to Reagan because he was going to take you back to the good old days, to the outward racism of many unions too.

Until people read, learn to distinguish truth and lies, put down the goddamn Rogan/Kirk and other’s podcasts we are all screwed.

Your headline is a misnomer. The beginning of the end of unions happened in 1980 with Ronald Reagan. What’s going on today and what’s happened in the time between with screwed up decisions like the Janus decision, is merely an outcropping of what Ronald Reagan started. When you have unions, specifically Union leadership, that were willing to allow Trumpism to take root within their organizations and the turn around and participate at the RNC when Trump was going for the presidency the first time and again this time, they signed their death warrant.

The GOP has never been a friend to unions. They never will be. They have always been about making the most money that they can in their businesses, and they did not care who they hurt in the process. Usually it came at the expense of the workers in the form of low pay, layoffs, closures, or overseas operations. The headline should’ve read The Final Nail in the Coffin for Unions.

I agree with you! Thanks for this comment. This is the product of Trumpism taking shape within their organizations. I agree that the GOP has never been a friend to unions and they never will be. However for the case of making an article and keeping people updated with new information we want to put out this news of this executive order to the people, especially since it’s federal agency’s unions.
