On Saturday, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and actor Danny Glover will join the March on Mississippi in order to protest a pattern of civil rights abuses against the company's predominantly African American workers. Also joining the march are Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), NAACP President Cornell William Brooks, Sierra Club President Aaron Mair, hundreds of workers, civil rights leaders and social justice advocates. The march will end at Nissan's Canton factory, and the marchers will demand that the company start respecting its workers’ right to vote for a union free from fear and intimidation.

Bernie replacing Riggs as Murtah’s partner?
According to Nissan, their production workers in Canton, MS make an average of 24.47/hr. Their maintenance workers make an average of 28.49/hr. That is NOT something Day’Shawn and Tray’Shawn oughtta be screwing up for themselves.
Well, sh*t draws flies and I’ll bet they’d like to see a good crowd. Glover and Sanders should do it.
I bet the cost of living is low there too. Except that it is in Mississippi, I would suggest my son check into it. Of course, he is a white male so, probably would not be considered.
So, these idiots want to take away the major advantage southern states have to attract some of the best paying blue collar jobs around?
Read up on what a dump Selma has turned into over the years. So much for liberation.
I thought he was one of the Whorellywood hypocrites that was leaving the country because of Trump. What’s he still doing here?
You mean they don’t want to give a chunk of their pay to the Demoncrat Party?
Ping
Thank you for the ping WKB. I have not seen this.
If the article is true and 42 of 45 Nissan plants are Union, what’s one more?
My family and I just had to move from Mississippi because there is no work there that pays to take care of a family. On the coast, Ingall’s and Halter are about the only two places to work outside the medical field and Halter is a shit hole and dangerous, and Ingall’s constantly lays off.
I grew up in Mobile and there were plenty of good paying jobs there when I was a kid. Not anymore. Both of those states are so corrupt I’m surprised any major companies would move there.
I don’t agree with liberals on anything, except this:
The laws for shipyard workers are ridiculous and they can be as unsafe as they want to because they can’t be sued by an employee, or their family. The shipbuilding industry is the only industry like this. My husband and son worked at Halter and knew one of the men killed, and the one in the crane accident who lost a whole lot more than his eyesight, and they get away with it over and over again. There are upper management that need to be charged with crimes. I’m glad mine are out of there.
Oh and then there’s this:

Gov. Bryant awarded them a multi million dollar grant to build this paint blasting building, they had been fined by OSHA for not having one, in fact, they got fined more for that than the crane accident who nearly killed two people. Guess what, that building still hasn’t been built, and now they are being fined for not having it built already. Phil Bryant gave taxpayer money to have them basically steal it.

This article is about the fine and the fact that the building was supposed to be finished by summer 2015.
