Actually it is completely relevant. Where there are people there is power. Solidarity is the currency of unionionism and the unity Solidarity provides is the only true source of any Union’s strength.
Former Teamster, 19 year UPS service provider (package car driver), currently studying Social Welfare with an emphasis on community organizing in hopes of working as a labor organizer. I don’t dabble, I think about this shit all day
Respectfully, this is bullshit.
O’Brien growing a spine would have involved calling out Republicans and their policies at the RNC.
The Republican Party, as it exists under the leadership of Donald J. Trump, is a party of and based around an ideology of bigotry, marginalization, oppression, and hatred.
O’Brien’s speech and this announcement serve as a tacit endorsement of that ideology. The leadership or the International Brotherhood of Teamsters is telling the world and the rank-and-file that the repressive, Neo-fascist ideology of Trumpism is at the very least acceptable to them.
There is zero chance that the right to organize survives a second Trump administration.
All O’Brien did here was throwing out female, PoC, immigrant, refugee, migrant, and LGBTQ+ brothers, sisters, and family under the bus.
It was the opposite of Solidarity.
Why would you want to ruin a perfectly good animatronic Elvis like that?
Is that what they mean by giving the dog a bone?
Svarte Daga in my ass
My family was pretty poor growing up, but we had cable. Back in the day there would occasionally be free weekends of Disney Channel, HBO and the like. Whenever there was one of those free weekends, my parents would buy a super long blank VHS tape and record hours of random movies. So for years every movie that I watched had an 800 number that would pop up every few minutes asking you to call and subscribe.
Exactly. If the don’t close the loopholes then this means precisely dick.
In the eastern Kansas city that I live in, a living wage for a single person with no kids is almost $20/hr. There is no way $18 is nearly enough in California.
Can someone build me an all electric Econoline? Preferably with a wizard painted on the side.
Trump’s out there making Sean O’Brien look more and more foolish every week.
I miss bugs. It freaks me out how few I see anymore.
$6/lb seems like a pretty good deal. I’ve had monkfish before, it’s good stuff.
You just don’t expect an animal that small to have such a huge cock.
He started smoking again after 911 iir.
What isn’t the orb? That’s the real question.
I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted. Your take is completely fair. Parts of the ceremony were great. Gojira playing on the side of the Conciergerie was fuckin amazing. But on the whole, I thought the pacing of the whole event was terrible and lacked energy. Plus those fuckin NBC commentators would not shut the fuck up.
He was sort of Boromir in Ronin too.
Orthogonal usually means, unrelated, irrelevant. Sorry if I misunderstood.
I don’t need the links.
Teamsters are still more AFL than CIO that’s for sure.
“I still believe that peace and plenty and happiness can be worked out some way. I am a fool.”
Not believing in worker Solidarity is a bit of a self fulfilling prophecy. You have to build it. You have to work. I believe that people are good. That people can be better. I believe that long term unionization is our only hope against corporate dominance.
Have hope. Get out and work for change.
