As the presidential campaign enters its final weeks, one of Trumpâs most dishonest & effective attacks is that Kamala Harris is to blame for inflation That's an absurd attack, especially when Trump's plansâespecially his tariffsâwill dangerously push up inflation www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
The pandemic, Russia-Ukraine war and corporate price-gouging have all contributed to inflation â not Kamala Harris
America's labor unions are stepping up efforts to persuade their members that Trump is not a friend of unions or workers. In contrast, Kamala Harris has long fought for workers Harris has walked on a UAW picket line, while Trump supports firing striking workers. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...
Unions have mobilized thousands of members to convince them that Harris is a far better ally than Trump
VERY IMPRESSIVEâThe East Coast longshoremen's union won an amazing 62% raiseâa $24-an-hour raise over six years That will provide inspiration & leverage to other unions in their bargaining, just like last fall's great UAW contract with Detroit's Big Three www.nytimes.com/2024/10/03/b...
The International Longshoremenâs Association received a new wage offer and will halt its walkout at East and Gulf Coast ports, which began Tuesday.
Terrible >> Several employees at a plastics factory in eastern Tennessee were killed during Hurricane Helene after management rejected some workers' pleas to evacuate as the hurricane approached. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...
One worker said Impact Plastics managers would not let employees leave, which company denies
In a move to help the strikers, Biden urges port operators to increase wage after 45,000 longshoremen go on strike. "Now is not the time for ocean carriers to refuse to negotiate a fair wage for these essential workers while raking in record profits,â Biden said. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...
Strike â first by port workers on US east coast since 1977 â threatens to shut down ports from Maine to Texas
It's dismaying to see more articles about one union not making an endorsement (the Teamsters) or a few unions praising or backing a few GOP candidates than there are articles about the great majority of unions backing Harris & about labor's big push to elect her www.nytimes.com/2024/09/25/n...
Democrats still dominate with organized labor. But in must-win swing races, Republicans are peeling off some union support, and feeling the benefits.
Many voters fail to understand Trump & Project 2025âs dangerous plan to fire 1000s of federal employees & replace them with Trump loyalists These plans will hurt millions of Americans by undermining how well the government provides services & enforces regulations www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...
Even as Trump tries to disavow the rightwing blueprint, both have similar plans to replace many federal employees
TRUMP'S UGLY ANTI-SEMITISMâIn speaking at a rally billed as fighting antisemitism, Trump was already scapegoating Jews in case he loses, saying, âIf I donât win this election...the Jewish people would have a lot to do with a lossâ He's whipping up hatred against Jews www.nytimes.com/2024/09/20/u...
Twice on Thursday, the former president said he believed âthe Jewish people would have a lot to do withâ a loss if Kamala Harris defeated him.
Sean O'Brien & the Teamsters' executive board have bungled things badly by issuing a non-endorsement when Trump is aggressively anti-union & Harris has long championed unions & workers. Unhappy about this, many Teamster locals have rushed to defy O'Brien & endorse Harris slate.com/news-and-pol...
The Teamsters are playing a dangerous game of chicken with Trump.
It would be very cool if Taylor Swift, Beyonce & Bruce Springsteen did a joint concert (or several concerts) in support of Kamala Harris That would blow Trump's mindâHe'd become so angry & unhinged that day after day he would trash Taylor, Beyonce & Bruce www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...
"I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT," the former president and Republican candidate posted on Truth Social of the massively influential pop superstar.
