“The status quo — of police killing Black people, of armed white nationalists killing demonstrators, of millions sick and increasingly desperate — is clearly unjust, and it cannot continue,” says the statement from several branches of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, the Service Employees International Union, and affiliates of the National Education Association...The Nonprofit Professional Employees Union, which represents several hundred workiers at more than 25 civil rights groups and think tank organizations, told the AP it signed onto the union statement...

"...and affiliates of the National Education Association." They're planning to protest with walkouts between now and election day.

Public employee unions should again be illegal.

It was a terrible mistake to legalize them.

Government employee unions should be outlawed.

Police kill far more white people each year than black people.

If we’re just going by numbers and skin color, they should be shouting white lives matter.

Besides if race doesnt matter, if externals dont matter, whats the hubbub, bub?

How about the Postal Workers Union? They should strike too. You know, in solidarity with BLM.

Public employees unions were made legal by President Kennedy by executive order. It would be so wonderful if Trump wins a second term and reverses that executive order. I noticed in this list of unions wanting to walk out against Trump that there are not any trade unions of actual skilled labor workers.

Police killed 55 unarmed people in 2019: BLM is a political power-movement based on selective outrage and lies.

This could put the nail in government unions. The first welfare worker that strikes instead of getting someone on the rolls will face worse than even the gangs that run BLM/antifa would do to them.

Public sector unions for office work jobs should be illegal. I can kinda see the need/justification for say a city electrical worker, fire/police and other hazardous jobs.

Thank God my state doesn’t have a union! (I’m a state employee)

Even if we did, I wouldn’t be walking off the job anyway.

I said the same thing. It is the office work unions, teachers, etc. not the electricians, police/fire, welders, etc. that want to walk off the job.

The latter have skills that can be used anywhere, the former are stuck in bureaucratic ways no private employer wants.

The pinkos can’t win elections so they riot and disrupt instead.
