Calling strikebreakers “scabs” is patently dehumanizing (and if your response to this is “good,” you should probably engage in some self-examination)

Per a Ford source, the union asked Ford this afternoon for a meeting at 5:30 p.m. today with a new economic counteroffer.
When Ford said it did not have one, Shawn Fain stood up & said “You just lost Kentucky Truck.”
The meeting took about 10 minutes.

Union wins are wins for the entire working class.
But Toyotas goal in doing this is to prevent their workers from unionizing. Bosses at Toyota aren't your friends, workers at Toyota deserve union protection.
Toyota says it's immediately raising the wages of its non-union factory workers, confirming
@labornotes
reporting.
This comes right after the UAW won historic tentative agreements with Ford, GM, & Stellantis.
A strong labor movement even helps workers who aren't union — yet.

Unions don't cause inflation. Corporate greed does though!
Between 1979-2013 the top 1% wages grew 138% while worker wages only increase by 15%. Productivity has never been higher yet real wages for workers have remained stagnant.
Increased union density is how we fix the issues
CEO Barry Sternlicht has amassed $3.8 billion.
But he's going on TV to tell you that unions are driving up inflation.
When really it's corporate greed, driven by people like him.

Mercedes workers are standing up and fighting back!
The brand may be foreign, but the labor is American.
And American workers don't just roll over and take what we're given.
Mercedes workers in Alabama are ready to Stand Up.
And the whole working class is ready to stand with them.

Workers say they want to join

They tried this at John Deere and crashed tractors into support beams. Right now if a manager goes on a job in an emergency it takes 3-4 of them to run 1 job. Funny and depressing to watch.

On CNBC, Jim Cramer sounds scared of the rising union tide.
He says that the Teamsters "maybe got the best" of UPS.
And he worries that the United Auto Workers and their President Shawn Fain are more like "1930s UAW, which we don't want."
