Totally unrelated to Fain’s call for a General Strike in the future, I’m sure.

Maybe, but 3 years is not a lot of time build the framework for a General Strike. There’s a lot of prep that needs to be done, especially in the US.
Fain was the least-connected viable option during the last UAW elections. As in, aside from the non-viable socialist, Fain was the only one not tiesd to the UAW’s long strong of corrupt leadership that embezzled money, collaborated with manager, and, on one occasion, likely burned down UAW’s records office.
While it’s not impossible that he has similar problems, it’s more likely that he’s vastly less shitty and these internal conflicts are with the prior loyalists to the corrupt leadership, e.g. Mock.
Anyways the early endorsement of Biden was still terrible.
Was the socialist candidate the trotskyist guy who talked like a robot but also wore an n95 everywhere?
I actually don’t remember lol. He was fairly irrelevant, just plain didn’t have enough people organized to his side.
I feel like the Trotskyist thing to do would’ve been to try and take over the viable reform campaign, UAWD. And I know that some did try that.
Anyways the early endorsement of Biden was still terrible.
Didn’t UAW already get gains from Biden? Like him walking with them which helped get them their contract?
They did do some Biden photo ops, yes. I personally don’t think that is particularly valuable for the union itself.
It’s kind of like politicians showing up to a protest looking to get clout despite doing nothing to organize it. They get to claim credit while doing literally nothing.
I mean they did win their contract and UAW claimed it helped
Liberal union staff always say that Dem politicians help. It’s part of their false ideology and one if the main things we need to combat if we are to build unions that aren’t used to kill us.
Probably yea. Idk anything about the UAW though and not gonna pretend ik what’s going on inside
the price of socdem electoral dipshittery
This is kinda just leopard eating face party but for capitalism. Yes the nlrb has been better, no they won’t stop fucking you because you gave an endorsement
Mafia states of America doing their usual anti union shakedown.
This seems to focus on their international component and reporting. When I was at the 2016 convention the UAW thugs who strong armed their way into the delegation were very agitated about the TPP protests. They sent secret service on me to try to prevent me holding a NO TPP sign during Obama’s speech. I asked them why they were opposed given they wanted to ship their jobs to China. Wouldn’t that depress your workers wages? They said they had “plans” but when asked to expound on those plans they all became pucketbutted and tight lipped. Like they shut the fuck up and didn’t want to talk any more. It was strange. Said with the SS I could hold the sign given I do so in silence.Then we had the anti CHINA poor Taiwan AUKUS junk.
So…Democrats and UAW international unit…Fain stumping for
(
threw up red flags for me] what agreements and schemes are going on here? Are they trying to use UAW and unions as part of a covert foriegn policy tool? The trade agreement that Trump put out to replace NAFTA is the USMCA (US Marine Corp Agreement?) An on the ground organizing group on tap for western shenanigans.Biden throwing red meat to the
on the border about Mexico.The timing of this and say the Mexican election results. Coincidence? Someone not playing ball?
Idk. There’s something else going on and I sense shenanigans.
