Unions plan massive anti-Trump strike
Washington Examiner ^ | March 18, 2017 | Eddie Scarry

More than 300,000 workers are planning to walk out of their jobs in protest of President Trump on International Workers Day, according to a new report.

The report by Buzzfeed News said that "350,000 service workers plan to strike on May 1, a traditional day for labor activism across the world, in the most direct attempt yet by organized labor to capture the energy from a resurgent wave of activism across the country since the election of Donald Trump."

The Service Employees International Union, which endorsed Democrat Hillary Clinton for president back in 2015, will be a large component of the protest.

39 posts and no one points out what everyone should know: the SEIU is the illegal alien union.

Note that UAW, IAM, IBEW and other unions whose membership are now on Trump’s side aren’t going along with this Mexican agitation gig.

Not to mention the ultimate pro-Trump union, which is the National Border Patrol Council.

So screw the Mexican Communists. Everyone else disagrees with them.

There’s federal laws against union’s striking.

Is this primarily a government workers union?

If so, remind them of the Air Traffic Controllers strike.

Trump already plans to shrink government. A strike now? Not smart.

Didn’t President Reagan show how to handle public employee strikes - fire them all and decertify the union.

Really? 350,000 “service” workers can afford to give up a day’s pay, and possibly their jobs on behalf of Communism? I’d like to see that.

Hmmm, making claims that may not match reality. Many union types voted for Trump. Jobs coming back home isn’t anti-union.

This sounds like the union leadership doing the bidding of their DNC masters but it may be far removed from the sentiment of their members.

SEIU and other unions celebrate major Communist holiday in opposition to our President.

Thanks for posting this. I guess their strike will show how many union members are really Communists.

The ‘common workers’ will probably not know the link to the USSR and that “May Day” was THE major world wide Communist holiday but the leaders know it. Just like the “day without women” what held on the old USSR Communist Woman’s Day.

Reagan sure did.

He busted up the Air Traffic Control Union.
Fired every single one that did not show up for work.
