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.

what’s to prevent a new group from starting a NEW kind of union to replace the failed old one? The current union wants to bully the president? out with the old, in with the new-

[[In Californicator land, it seems like these commies are marching, protesting and striking all the time.]]

Yuo wonder how they get any work done at all for the companies- Sounds like they are costing companies loads of money- might be time to cut them for the sake of the companies

From humor thread; A silly start to Saturday ‎3‎/‎18‎/‎2017‎ ‎10‎:‎43‎:‎39‎ ‎AM · 27 of 35 Polyxene to sodpoodle A union boss walks into a bar next door to the factory and is about to order a drink, when he sees a guy close by wearing a TRUMP for President button, and two beers in front of him. He does not have to be an Einstein, to know that this guy, is a Republican. So, he shouts over to the bartender so loudly that everyone can hear, “Drinks for everyone in here, bartender, but not for the Republican.” Soon after the drinks have been handed out, the Republican gives him a big smile, waves at him then says, “Thank you!” in an equally loud voice. This infuriates the union boss. The union boss once again loudly orders drinks for everyone except the Republican. As before, this does not seem to bother the Republican. He continues to smile, and again yells, “Thank you!” The union boss once again, loudly orders drinks for, everyone except the Republican. As before, this STILL doesn’t seem to bother the Republican who continues to smile, and again yells, “Thank you!” The union boss asks the bartender, “What the hell is the matter, with that Republican? I have ordered three rounds of drinks for everyone in the bar but him, and all the silly ass does, is smile and thanks me. Is he nuts?” “Nope,” replies the bartender. “He owns the place.”

Labor activism...AKA...World socialism.

Wow! All 300,000 of them? At once?? /s

It will flop more than half of union workers voter for Trump in Michigan and probably elsewhere. Union rank and file can see past the bull crap from the thugs.

Most of these worthless creatures are janitors for cities, counties and the states across America.

Our tax $ are somehow used to pay for their marches.

[eyedigress]

What does “anti-Trump” mean?

It means the MSM lost and is having a very hard time comprehending that.

[davius]

The same old SEIU/Acorn/Soros drones too stupid to discern the commie shroud in which they are wrapped. In common parlance, Pukes.

[Bob434]

I feel ripped off- can i demand a refund?

[napscoordinator]

Ok. So there is a march on April 8, April 15 and May 1. I can’t imagine that they will be heavily attended like the Woman’s March on January 21. They had something a week ago or so and it was crickets from the media due to poor showing. They would be better off doing something once a year perhaps January 21 then having something every 2 weeks.

I hate to give these idiots advice, but it is just common sense.

[Billyv]

I, for one will not be participating!

[Missouri gal]

Don’t union strikes require some kind of legitimate grievance for which specific remedies are demanded? If not the strikers could be fired, and probably unable to claim any union compensation for lost wages. Can’t see “Never Trump” as a legitimate strike.
(And, what about the May 1 connection to communist May Day? Is this Russia meddling?)

[faithhopecharity]

Good! This will open up 350,000 jobs for some of the many millions of Americans that want to work and Obama threw out onto the unemployment lines

[dp0622]

Replace any that need replacing. #### the rest of the positions.

[SoFloFreeper]

I predict failure. I think Trump’s support among the rank and file union membership.

“More proof that libs don’t care about anything but themselves. The elderly patients and disabled will pay the price.”

I work at a nursing home in Illinois. The State ows our company millions. I notice at the grocery store that all our illegal aliens EBT cards seem to still be working.

[MuttTheHoople]

Woo hoo, three day weekend!

[SoFloFreeper]

I predict failure. I think Trump’s support among the rank and file union membership is underestimated.

Bigly.

[oldtech]

It will be a good day to pick & choose who need not come back to work on May 2. It will help to separate some Communists from regular working folks.

[tennmountainman]

Companies should fire all that miss work.
