Union bosses of the AFL-CIO are claiming to have mustered an army of 300,000 volunteers who will fan out across the nation to support President Obama on August 25th. This is part of their kitchen sink effort to keep their forced unionism privileges and the president who supports them in power. There is little doubt that they’ll be using lots of general treasury cash, extracted from workers as a condition of employment, to pay the bills.
California’s Big Labor-concocted A.B.5, signed into law by Gov. Gavin Newsom in 2019, made it almost impossible for workers and firms to bounce back after 2020’s COVID-19 lockdowns. Now Biden bureaucrats want to federalize A.B.5!
Mr. Fain undoubtedly knows full well that there is a complete disconnect between the UAW hierarchy and the UAW rank-and-file on the Biden presidency and whether workers will benefit from its extension for another four years.
Political pundits of every stripe have noted, and attempted to explain, a dramatic shift in recent years in the coalitions that back America’s two major political parties.
