Shell workers in Pennsylvania say they were told to either attend a recent Trump event, or not get paid
https://www.businessinsider.com/trum...et-paid-2019-8
Quote:
The president*’s rally-style speech, which a senior administration official described as "not a political event but an official event," included jabs at Sen. Elizabeth Warren and former Vice President Joe Biden, calls for union leaders to support him in 2020, a warning that Democrats would take their jobs, and taking credit for the complex, which is still under construction and was first announced in 2012 when former president Barack Obama was still in office.
In addition to the ethical concerns of the speech, which was expected to focus on energy but instead transformed into a full-on campaign rally (despite being funded by taxpayer dollars, which are not supposed to go toward political campaigns), the Pittsburg Post-Gazette on Friday revealed another red flag: the workers in the crowd didn't attend Trump's event by choice; rather, they had to attend in order to get their paychecks.

The workers can expect more good options. There are no unions able to act like unions right now.

Not since PATCO strike for sure.
Then add in the passing of "The Right to Work for Less" Laws across the land, and you end up with neutered unions.

DONNY HAS TOLD FRIENDS THAT GUTTING MEDICARE COULD BE A FUN “SECOND-TERM PROJECT”
Republicans want Trump to deal with the exploding deficit by gutting the social safety net, and the president is reportedly receptive to the idea.
https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2019...ederal-deficit
Repubes, of course, have long wanted to gut Medicare. They are cruel, heartless pigs. Donny has, until now, promised to protect it. His base will surely wake up and realize they've been conned, right?
