They need to head over to Chicago and have a talk with the mayor.

What a coincidence:

“We’ve had a long relationship with Vice President Biden on lots of issues,” says Mary Kay Henry, the president of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), citing health care as an example. But, Henry quickly added, “it’s similar to, frankly, the long-standing relationship we’ve had with many of the other Democratic candidates.”: Biden Is Betting on Unions. They Might Bet on Someone Else. The former vice president is leaning on his long-standing alliance with labor as he launches his presidential bid. But most major groups are holding off on endorsements.(04/30/2019)

SEIU President Mary Kay Henry serves on the Biden-Sanders unity task force on health care, helping shape the Democratic platform.: SEIU endorses Biden, boosting Democrat's 2020 ground game: The union, which represents 2 million workers, says it will launch a 40-state, “Essential for Joe” voter turnout campaign.

The union fatcats can support the left all they want, but many of the rank and file, especially Teamster members, are solidly in the Trump camp. I also know several guys in the IBEW and other trade unions that are also not going to vote with their union’s leadership.

I asked a fried of mine who is a member of one of the participating Unions, and they didn’t hear a thing about it.

SEIU grew out of the Communist Party’s efforts to control “service” workers through unionization. This included Local 1199 (Leon Davis (CPUSA) and then Rivera, a hardcore Marxist as leaders). It then merged with another CPUSA controlled union, the Distributive Workers Local 65, lead by CPUSA member Al Evanoff and his red cronies.

You will also notice the link by an organizer named Henderson with the old Communist Party training ground for the South, the Highlander School. As I recall, a number of key CPUSA organizers in the South were involved with it including Aubrey Williams, possibly the Bradens (Carl and Anne - who I met at a Party front conference), and others.

I don’t have my congressional hearings in front of me which listed those in it as well as the parallel Party front (Southern Conference for Human Welfare - SCHW, which became the Southern Conference Educational Fund - SCEF). SCEF was dealt with in House Committee on Un-American Activities hearings, the Sen. Committee on Un-American Activities of the California State Legislature, probably the 1966, 1967 and 1970 reports and the Louisiana Committee on Un-American Activities, and possibly the HCUA 1956 report on “Communist Activities in the South”.

Good night to all ships at sea!!!

this is ALL, like the Vietnam “antiwar” movement, Marxists linking with fellow Marxists and dragging their ignorant fellow-traveler sheeple with them.

From CNN's coverage earlier today: The strike is particularly targeting large businesses such as Amazon (AMZN), Uber (UBER), Lyft (LYFT), and McDonald's (MCD), among others. "If you're concerned about life, you have to challenge corporations that will put up a hashtag or slogan but do nothing about workers having health care or a living wage or decent employment," Rev. Dr. William Barber II, leader of the Poor People's Campaign, told CNN.: Thousands of workers to walk off the job in Strike for Black Lives
