In reply to the discussion: Can you be a Democrat and be anti-union? [View all]Donny1020
(1 post)Since the NLRA was amended and amended again the Democratic Party has had all three branches of Government multiple time. Not once has the Democratic Party moved to repeal Taft Hartley. Restoring the NLRA would give back labor the right to organize and bargain agreements effectively. All the Democratic Party gives the American Labor Movement is lip service and threats to further damage the labor movement if they do not support the Democratic Party elite.
Kennedy was anti-union, Jimmy Carter was anti-union and Bill Clinton also was anti union. When I say anti union I am saying they pushed for legislation that continued to erode the rights of workers to organize and worked to limit the political power of working people if it was outside of the dictates of the leaders of the Democratic Party. The only President to appoint an actual union person to Secretary of Labor was Nixon, the firing of PATCO members was Carters plan as well as deregulation, Clinton ='s NAFTA, and the Kennedy's had an all out assault on labor.
