Workers weren’t given the right to join unions until the National Labor Relations Act of 1935. By 1953, more than 35% of private sector workers were unionized. Less than 10% are today, thanks in large part to the anti-union efforts of Republicans. Most union members are in the public sector. /end
And they are disappearing very quickly in the federal Workforce due to the cowardice of managers to capitulate to this regime, who is not adhering to the rule of law in any way shape or form.
Shooti’s thoughts: I believe that understanding the true meaning of Labor Day requires recognizing its socialist and radical roots. Ignoring this history sanitizes the struggles and sacrifices that made workers’ rights possible, and paints over the conflicting priorities of workers and businesses.
Agreed Shooti! 👍🏼 Thank you for a very informative article. 🙏🏼💙
Agree. Republicans paint Socialism in ugly colors, but they lie lie lie and attack everything good so don’t believe those propagandists.
No GOP I have EVER asked this…and believe me, I do and have… Not ONE has EVER been willing to refuse their SS check! And sometimes their yaps take a brief pause when queried about it! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Unfortunately, only a brief pause.
Yes. Why I never choose to prolong any exchange.
