UAW workers get like $28-$32 an hour, and they want a 40% raise.  No wonder the crap they build is too expensive to compete with non USA brands made in the USA.

Why does Donald Trump say he supports the UAW strike?

Did he say that directly to the auto workers in the non union shop he went to?

Is that rhetorical, as you're asking the wrong person, as I don't care.

 

I support Biden in 2024, as worked out best for me so far, so keep that high inflation/COLA coming.

Studies show that states with higher murder rates are those that vote red even as conservatives stoke fear about crime

 

Wrong. It's the Red states that have more crime problems.

That's just because the liberal states just don't report petty crime any more. 

Any shoplifting below $950 is no longer a crime, and the big chains just move out.

"Crime is rising almost everywhere in California, including violent crime. Homicides in California jumped 31 percent last year, making 2020 the deadliest year since 2007. The 2,202 homicides in 2020 represent an increase of 523 over 2019. Homicides in Los Angeles rose 40 percent to 332, and they rose 35 percent to 285 in San Francisco. Both San Francisco and Los Angeles feature district attorneys who are perceived to be soft on crime, and both are facing the possibility of a recall election. Gives a whole new take on defunding police, doesn’t it?"

i posted a chart about homicides, and your response was about shoplifting.

 

Why are murder rates higher in Red states?

i have to believe that part of the motivation of the Trump fans to post here is emotional. They just have to post, they don't care if what they post is easily refuted. They just want to express their feelings that the other "tribe" is wrong.

Does Joe often join picket lines or is it just this once ?

Does Joe have a habit of  standing shoulder to should with the workers and is that his primary concern for attending or does he just want to win the Michigan vote ?

No prizes for guessing the correct answer.

Has Joe EVER joined a strike action in all his decades in the US government in the party of the "worker" 5555555555?

Probably. It's not usually newsworthy when a Dem joins a picket line.

 

Tell me when your man Trump joins a picket line.

Gosh, what's next?  Blaming the Repubs for the horrendous crime sprees happening in Dem controlled cities, because they refuse to sit down and rewrite the laws around organized smash and grab looting?   

 

Repubs simply want to enforce the laws already on the books.  They worked fine for decades.  And they recognize that having theft and immigration laws on the books is meaningless if they're not being enforced.  Like at the border, which was pretty darn secure until Biden's first day in office.  And in the cities, before no-cash bail, defunding the police and the Summer of Mostly Peaceful Arson and Looting disguised as protests.

Postal voters are unable to kill anyone , that's what Dem areas get fewer murders

In my 50 years of working life I never joined a union, joined in a strike action.

 

Why would I need to? I didn't need anybody to tell me to withdraw my labour (thus earning only my strike pay which I would pay for in union subscriptions). In effect I would be paying myself in the hope of possibly getting more money in the future. And having to work longer just to get my money back that I lost.

 

Nor would I be happy if another union official called the members out on strike to support me, thus dropping themselves down to strike level pay.

 

If I wasn't happy then I could always leave and get another job elsewhere, and I did, twice.

 

I can understand the historical reasons why the unions started.

 

Why should President Biden NEED to join a strike action in the first place. It is a personal choice that HE made.

Trump was speaking to the autoworkers in Detroit and seems to have a lot of support there. Many U Tube VDOs about it.

LOL. Personal choice yes, but his motivation would be significant. Short of some other explanation, I'm going with he's worried about losing to Trump so making political gestures he thinks will make him more popular. That's what most politicians do at election time, and nothing to do with actually supporting such as the autoworkers.

Not union members. He even faked union members with placards. Don't you find that dishonest? I guess all the dishonesty is like water off a republican's back?

[Danderman123]

The UAW and Biden won the strike.

 

As usual, the Democrats fought to raise wages for working people, and the Republicans resisted.

 

The Democrats want billionaires to pay their fair share of taxes, but the Republicans resist.

 

It's like the Republicsns only care about billionaires.

I joined a Union at age 18.

 

At age 20 I won a company bursary to support me reading Engineering at University.

 

The company reneged on the award.

 

My Union took the case up for me and got me the bursary I had earned.

 

I would not have been able to afford to go to university without my union’s help, nor might I ever have had a well paid career as a professional engineer.

 

I’ve been a proud union member ever since, always pay my dues, always thankful the positive help my Union gave me.

 

Working people shilling for employers against unions, AKA class traitors, cap doffers and forelock tuggers.

"Interviews with a diverse group of striking autoworkers and other voters in the critical battleground state of Michigan this week highlighted Biden’s troubles: Many of them had voted for him in 2020 and appreciate that he joined the picket line Tuesday. But several were frustrated with his handling of high prices and other economic issues — and not yet sold on voting for him again next year."

Tone Woods, a Black building trades worker from Detroit, said he is also undecided after voting for Biden in 2020. He attended Trump’s speech Wednesday in the Detroit area.

“Gas is high. Inflation. So that’s why I’m stuck in the middle,” he said. He is considering Trump because “the economy was a little better when Trump was in office, to be honest with you.”
