AP = All Propaganda
Don’t believe these Lying Leftist Media outlets that proved themselves during the 2016 campaign to be operatives of the DNC and intentional liars. They are presumed to be lying and we should presume what they publish is a lie. The presumption can only be rebutted with the outlet providing clear and convincing evidence they are not lying.
Why not post the TRUTH about the lies? You don't have to use the liar as the source to post a headline that alerts readers to a published lie. Use yourself as the source or a reasonably reliable source that addresses what the Lying Leftist source is saying. That way you have a headline and a source that your readers can reasonably rely on and they go away more informed about the lie AND the truth.
Having aid all of that, I hope Trump DID attack union leaders. Trump should REALLY be attacking and abolishing unconstitutional federal protection of unions.
After labor day no more white shoes!
Trumka was just WAY off the mark with his remark about “falling wages” and “rising gasoline prices”. The cost of gasoline is NOT the greatest annual cost of owning a new car, depreciation is. And insurance runs way up there on the list.
A large part of the cost of that automobile is the built-in costs of the union-driven compensation package for RETIRED auto workers, who no longer make a contribution to the value of that automobile. That is a large part of what broke GM, and drove Chrysler Corporation into the arms of foreign investors. Ford only survived because it has less exposure than either of the other two, while the Asian automobile manufacturers simply bypassed most of the union organization efforts altogether. The European manufacturers like Volkswagen thought they could work “cooperatively” with the unions as they do in Germany, but the driving philosophy of the US unions is to treat the company management like adversaries, not partners.
The top members of the big unions still cannot grasp the idea of working WITH corporate management, unless they can get a “seat” (veto power) on the board. Which is just another way of throwing obstacles in the way of innovation and enlightened profitability.
IOW, Trumka attacks the President *again*, and the talking point out of the Ass Press is, "Trump attacks". A**hole shills. Thanks Olog-hai.
When he has to mention Summer gas prices being higher you know he’s reaching. How’s the price of arugula,Trumka?
We have a lot of bad characters in America but union leaders are scary thugs.
I love how President Trump fights back. Something W or his dad never did.
Beau is retired from the Construction Trades. He was in our state Unions; Electrician’s and Laborer’s.
During the 0bama years, while he was still working, the Union Halls were empty - no one wanted to work due to 0bama constantly extending Unemployment Benefits.
Currently, the Union Halls are still empty - because the Unions don’t seem to bother finding, employing, educating and grooming the massive numbers of construction/trade workers now needed during a BOOM time.
Just what IS the job of a Union Steward, if not to facilitate that for employers?
They’ve also increased the number of hours that retired workers can work each year, without it effecting their retirement packages. It’s at 400 hours now...and when you finish your 400 hours, you can work another 49 and then start over again on your next 400! Rumor has it, the hours are going up to 600 in the near future. It’s insanity.
Makes you really wonder how anything gets built properly, anymore.
At McCains funeral when his daughter went on about America was always great and got the applause of all those rich coddled people I wish someone would point out to them that in great swaths of the country people who were thrown out of work and had their pride stolen from them tried to hold things together while the politicians and their masters just got richer.
The have no clue, they couldn’t find middle America even with a map.
I can’t find the middle of that sentence without a map but you are 100% correct!
>>Life for union workers is better under Trump and the members know it.
So does Trumka and that’s MAGA!
LOL I was thinking the same thing. I usually don’t do run on sentences
I don't think the union bosses care if their members are working or not. Just as long as those members are filling the union coffers with their dues, and the union bosses continue to get their "taste", all is well with Trumpka and others of his ilk.
Slow Joe was probably thinking about the locker rooms.
Because it’s Labor Day, it means the Trumka is immune from criticism?
Not how it works AP
Trump actually ‘counter attacked’. Trumka attacked first and Trump responded.
TrumPka (LOL) used to visit the Obama White House multiple times every week. He probably had an Office there.
Harris poll: Blue Collar workers 85% satisfied. Richard “Fifth Amendment” Trumpka lying again. BTW he took 5th in Congressional hearing and AFL-CIO rules require any union official who takes the 5th to step down - I guess that means any one but Trumpka.
[Hey Unions — if you are concerned about American worker’s wages why do you support illegal alien workers?]
Exactly. These hacks have another agenda beside their rank and file.
The unions are grateful to the dem party for special favors.
