  Turning his back would (incorrectly) insinuate that he was ever in their corner.

    He turned around to dangle a carrot, then rammed it up his own ass before crapping on everyone

  The guy who's never met a worker he couldn't stiff was on the side of workers? Frankly I'm shocked he hasn't fucked over the labor force harder.

      Yeah after finding out my state’s democratic labor caucus was filled with infighting amd was against amy action that “could wake the bear” I figured out the established unionists have a habit of pulling up the ladder.

  Yup. My cousin inms IBEW, and in 2024 they straight up told all of them that if the the orange pedo wins they may not exist in 2028

  And I a coworker used to work for a solar manufacturing company. They outright said if he gets back in, “we’re fucked”.

  of course the technofascist bloatligarch class is going to be completely opposed to anything that hinders the exploitation of the serf class. they’ve hated unions more than anything since unions were invented, because preventing worker exploitation is the union’s purpose for existence. “oh the peons in store #015247 have unionized? i guess we’re closing that store then”
