Every southern rethug can FUCK OFF. Every Rethug gov that spoke out against unions..

[Imallin4Joe]

Volkswagon auto factory in Tennessee just voted to go UNION!!

Every "southern" governor spoke out against this union drive/effort.

Rethugs HATE workers organizing for a better life.

Rethug governors pedaled their states to automakers as a union-free environment.

Proud of my fellow newest UAW-inductees for voting UNION-YES.

WELCOME ABOARD!!

Life will improve with your soon incoming union contract.

To Rethug governors, like George Carlin once said, up your ass with a broomstick!!

Bonus, WTF is "southern" anyway? Another country?

The term "southern" is becoming offensive and unpatriotic to me.

4. I heard on NPR today IBEW endorsed President Joe.

I was an active member for 35 years. Now retired.

9. I'm very happy hearing the news on this thread. We still have the right to join a union

And we should support our new members as they form the Union they want. I worked Union for over 30+ years and it was an experience I’ll never forget. Took advantage of being active and the opportunities and those values still have a place in my life. I hope their leadership represents them well as management will be testing them so be strong and know your values and your contract. ✊

Thanks for posting.

8. I think the southern Republiklans want to go to the early 1800s & bring back slavery

It's the only thing that adds up with all their anti-worker, anti-women, racist, anti-American behaviors. We failed to excise the cancer post-Civil War. And now they're coming back stronger, probably with help from Russia and China.

10. You're damn right!!

They yearn for the days where only conservative white guys control everything. 1950's shit..

12. It's up to the voters,

That 47% of American voters haven't figured it out ----collateral damaged to our democratic state.

United we stand. Don’t ever forget that.

19. Unions built the middle class

Republicans and conservatives want only a rich class and a poor class. More workers, less rich. No woman’s heath care equals more workers. No workers rights equals “right to work” (fired just because).

To quote Judge Smails, “the world needs ditch diggers too”……

20. Glad to hear it.

I'm pro-union.

21. Not any of the northern ones?

There’s about as many in both houses

22. Congrats!! My parents were union (northern state) -

they were high school graduates who were able to have decent jobs with benefits (and piece work - remember that? My dad loved the reward of being able to make more if you put in the effort). All 3 of us kids were able to graduate from in-state colleges on the shoulders of their work.

My dad always said that the unions weren't perfect (some of them were pretty strong in the mid 1900s and could be violent as well), but without them they didn't have anything. With a union you were able to approach management as a group with demands - without that you'd just be individually fired if you said anything at all that they didn't like. I'm so glad to hear unions are on the rise again.
