Richard Trumka has found his purpose. He wants to use his forced-union dues treasury to help solve President Obama’s “white guy problem.” Adding insult to injury, Trumka bashes some of his own members — the ones who pay his salary — by claiming they oppose Obama because they are racist or own a gun. “Some of this I think was pure racism,” said Trumka. “Some of them would be gun owners, some of them would be right-wing. Some of them would be … died-in-the-wool Republicans.”
This is a perfect example why Trumka and his fellow union bosses will do anything to stop giving workers a choice in wether to join a union. It’s easier to insult them, degrade them and force them to pay dues.
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.
