she's going to make everything better. well good for her. . .  :sarcasm:

QUOTE
The petition for a union election at the Mankato hospital was submitted by nurse Brittany Burgess, who as part of the decertification campaign invited some nurses to the mansion of her stepfather, Republican billionaire Glen Taylor.

Burgess said she is excited to no longer be tied for the Minnesota Nurses Association, which she described as a divisive force in the hospital.

“We work for the top healthcare organization in the world, yet we were continuously being told to not trust our leaders or those that expressed varying opinions from our union representation,” Burgess wrote in a text message. “MNA did little to advance their mission within our community and hear our voices to promote the types of change we need in order to help recruit, retain, and align our practice to better care for our patients.”

I've worked in both Union and non and have felt the pros and cons of both.
Worked for companies that didn't give two shits about you.
Worked for unions where you had some protection against a shitty employer but at the same time enabled employees to be lazy.
Like everything in life there are pros and cons to both I guess...

Posted by Expatriate on Nov. 07 2022,10:14 am
^^ Your experience may be different from mine GIL

You can get fired on a union job, the union can attempt to get your job back but it doesn't always succeed. The union would have to give something up in the way of grievances.
So protecting lazy workers isn't something that happens, at least not on the jobs I've held in my lifetime.

What a Union does provide is a little dignity in the work place.
A seniority system where you can bid on jobs if you're qualified.

A Union Contract also provides decent wages, health benefits, Holidays, Vacation, and a pension plan.

Unions aren't perfect but they came about for good reason...

^^Yes you're a Scab, you've stabbed your fellow workers in the back when you crossed Union picket line and scabbed in the Hormel Plant. It's people like you who have destroyed this Nation..

How America Became A Third World Nation?
America has an entirely new type of slum we haven’t seen here since the 1930s, the product of 42 years of the Reagan Revolution. We call them “tent cities” along with their more upscale neighbors:  roadsides lined with old RVs and cars in which desperate or hopeless people live. Instead of referring to their denizens as slum-dwellers, we call them the “homeless,” and their numbers have grown so large in the past decade of our neoliberal experiment that they signal an undeniable national housing crisis. America, in other words, more and more resembles a Third World nation.

Posted by Glad I Left on Sep. 13 2023,8:30 am
Growing up my best friends dad worked at Hormel. I remember the strike through a pre-teens eyes. I remember it going on, but not really sure what it all meant. I know that my best friends dad worked the picket line and things were really tight money wise for them, as it was even when he was working being a single dad and all.
As I've gotten older I respect more people willing to strike for what they believe are better working conditions, and wages.  I'm not a union fan per se, I'm a fan of what they represent though. Much like political parties, they are too big for their britches and only believe in more power at whatever cost. I don't think they always have the best interest of whom they are purporting to represent at heart.
Back to the issue at hand, it's hard to not be on the workers side when companies are posting record profits, execs are making record bonuses all off the sweat of the workers. I'm not saying they aren't entitled to these things, but it's time to reward those that make these things possible.

I’ll be 64 in a couple of weeks, I still out work drivers in their 30’s

Yeah, you're overdue for the big one, but it won't be long now Fatso...

According to the U.S. Center for Disease Control (CDC), the average life expectancy of a commercial truck driver is 61 years of age, 16 years lower than the national average.

^^ yes, I still see quite a few drivers out there that still smoke (dumbasses) which leads to heart disease, stroke and lung cancer.

I have a touch of diabetes but I manage it well🤣🤣🤣

With my family’s history I’ll live into my 80’s more likely into my nineties.

With your proclivities I would think you’d be taking a dirt nap soon.

Don’t worry comrade Dick Whistle, we all die sometime😁

United Steelworkers Union endorsement of President Biden...

USW Endorses Joe Biden for Reelection as President

Contact: Jess Kamm Broomell, (412) 562-2444, jkamm@usw.org

(PITTSBURGH) – The United Steelworkers (USW) union today proudly endorsed Joe Biden for a second term as president of the United States.

“President Biden proved time and again during his first term that he stands with working families,” said USW International President David McCall. “His vision and leadership allowed our nation to strengthen workers’ access to collective bargaining, grow the middle class, and embark on a path to widespread prosperity.”

The union’s endorsement was the culmination of a months-long process that included surveying USW members regarding their top priorities. The union also sent prospective presidential candidates in both parties a detailed questionnaire to determine where each of them stands on key issues affecting working people.

“Our members told us that they value retirement security, affordable health care and labor laws that support our ability to form unions and negotiate strong contracts,” said McCall. “President Biden’s record on all these issues speaks for itself. He also laid out a strong plan for building on this momentum well into the future.”

In 2021, USW members led a union-wide effort backing large-scale infrastructure investment with strong Buy American provisions.

“President Biden, through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, Inflation Reduction Act and other pro-worker legislation, is making good on his promise to create good, union jobs and healthier communities across the country,” McCall said. “Our nation has long needed this sort of sweeping investment. President Biden made it happen.”

McCall noted that by strategically combining these historic investments with a worker-centered trade policy that is rebuilding supply chains and supporting critical industries, President Biden is promoting domestic manufacturing and widespread prosperity, not just in the short term but well into the future.

This is in addition to the many other ways in which Biden and his administration helped advance workers’ interests, McCall said.

“President Biden’s leadership revitalized the Department of Labor and National Labor Relations Board so that they are once again fulfilling their mission to empower working people.

“And he consistently held firm on protecting Americans’ retirement security, fending off attacks on Social Security and Medicare.

“Among the many accomplishments of Biden’s American Rescue Plan was shoring up the troubled multi-employer pension plans that put more than a million workers’ retirements in jeopardy through no fault of their own – including 120,000 USW members and retirees. These workers can now look to the future with optimism rather than fear.”

McCall said that workers and their families need their elected officials to share their priorities.

“Workers and their families are more secure than they were four years ago, thanks to President Biden’s leadership. From infrastructure to retirement security, international trade to safer workplaces, President Biden got the job done,” McCall said. “We’re honored to back him as he runs for reelection.”

IBEW Endorses President Biden and Vice President Harris for Re-Election

International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers International President Kenneth W. Cooper issued the following statement on the announcement by President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris of their candidacies for re-election:

“The IBEW enthusiastically endorses President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for re-election in 2024. Together, they have led the most pro-union administration of our lifetimes and kept their promises to America’s working families. We are proud to stand with them in the critically important 2024 election.

“The IBEW represents approximately 775,000 active members and retirees who work in various fields, including utilities, construction, telecommunications, broadcasting, manufacturing, railroads and government. The IBEW is the most established and comprehensive energy union in the world dedicated to promoting members' welfare, safe working conditions and interests, fighting for fair wages, and for the dignity and rights of all workers in America.

“When the IBEW endorsed candidate Joe Biden in 2019, it was because of his commitment to creating good union jobs, protecting secure retirements, addressing climate change responsibly and investing in American manufacturing. President Joe Biden has delivered on all of these pledges: promises made and promises kept.

“Throughout his first term, President Biden has been a steadfast ally of unions and American workers. I am confident that support will continue in his second term. The Biden-Harris administration has consistently advanced policies that empower workers, created opportunities for everyday people, and promoted the well-being of working families. As a direct result of these efforts, the Biden-Harris administration has overseen robust economic growth, increased worker wages and the lowest unemployment rate in 50 years.

“President Biden's dedication to unionism has spurred tangible wins for IBEW that will lead to good union jobs and stronger communities for decades. Without President Biden and Vice President Harris, we simply would not have the pro-union, pro-worker policies included in the American Recovery Act, the Inflation Reduction Act, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, and the CHIPS and Science Act. Significantly, President Biden’s strong leadership saved IBEW pensions – a benefit every worker should enjoy – through the enactment of the Butch Lewis Emergency Pension Relief Act.

“Within the first week of taking office, President Biden and Vice President Harris began appointing into the administration union officials who have dedicated their lives to advancing the labor movement's core principles and worker’s rights, including a card-carrying union member for Secretary of Labor and a chief counsel for the NLRB who supports collective bargaining.

“President Biden has issued executive orders to reverse policies that have eroded unionists' strength for decades, including industry-recognized apprenticeship programs (IRAPs) and rules that gutted federal employees’ collective bargaining rights. And then the Biden-Harris Administration went on the offense: mandating project labor agreements (PLAs) on federal construction projects, establishing the first-ever White House Task Force on Worker Organizing and Empowerment, and ensuring that skilled American workers benefit from historic federal investments.

“President Biden has a proven record of fighting to strengthen labor laws and protecting workers' rights to organize and collectively bargain, which has led to a resurgence in union membership and power of the labor movement.

“President Biden and Vice President Harris strongly support the enactment of the Richard L. Trumka Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act, a bill that will strengthen workers' rights to bargain collectively, making it easier for workers to form and join unions, and provide protections to ensure workers are safe from intimidation and are appropriately classified as employees.

“In recognition of these accomplishments and their continued dedication to the welfare of the IBEW, unions and all American workers, the IBEW is proud to endorse President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for re-election in 2024.

“And on behalf of the working men and women of the IBEW, I want to thank President Biden and Vice President Harris for all they have  done over their first years in office to invest in every community and every worker across the country. The IBEW looks forward to working closely with the Biden-HarrisAdministration to continue building a more equitable and prosperous future for all Americans.”
