Who's Corrupt? UAW or GOP?

Someone invited right wingers in the BTP chat room to show that the UAW is corrupt.


None will give it a try. They know they can't find any such thing.

___________


Try, on the other hand to find a republican office-holder under indictment.

Uh-oh!

Duncan Hunter and Chris Collins are currently under indictment. Trump himself was identified as a co-conspirator in a felony that landed his lawyer in prison.

Pale Spins to Smear Union

Lesm’s Union was my Dad’s Union. When UAL went into bankruptcy, the union bought into UAL a d sat on the BOD. One of their first actions was to cut the same pensions they’d convinced members to demand

What Pale's trying to con you into thinking is that it was the union that cut the pensions; but read carefully; he's tricky.  It was the board of directors that cut the pensions; it wasn't the union.

Why Doss Is Informed

Having been raised in a union family
(My dad was an international UAW official.), we followed politics
closely; read at least two newspapers a day; digested all the TV news we
could pick up on our box; and discussed as a family the issues every
evening at supper time.

My brother and I were the only two
children at our school to be pulled out of class on the day LBJ came to
Memphis in the 1964 campaign so we could attend his rally down on the
river.

We knew more about the Medicare battle than most of
the senior citizens we encountered. Daddy's passed on now, but every one
of his children continues to this day embracing the core principles of
organized labor, the New Deal and the Great Society. God Bless the
Democrats for Social Security, Medicare, Obamacare, Voting Rights, and
more.

And the racist ingrates who now side with
Putin/Kim/Trump --- if you don't like it --- then give up your Social
Security and Medicare today. I dare you.

Did the ACA Give Unions Special Treatment?

Some complain that their employers have to comply with the ACA; but that Unions are given an "unfair" pass. Something didn't ring true about that claim, so I did some looking around.



I found this at Politifact:



"In ruling on this statement, we understand that the Obama administration
would hardly admit to it if it were giving unions special treatment.
But looking at the numbers of waivers that have been given to both union
and non-union groups, we don’t see any pattern that would support a
case for special treatment. The number of waivers are a small sample of
all health plans, and many more waivers were given to big companies and
corporations. We looked for additional information or evidence on this
point and didn’t find it."

Sunnybelle and Unions

When unions were first organized, they had real wrongs to correct. They were all fixed by 1955.

I asked Sunnybelle if the Memphis Sanitation Strike of 1968 was BEFORE or AFTER 1955.


She won't say.  *S*

Concentration Camps

This is what happens when union busting governors get carried away.
