I bet it is corrupt leadership, not the rank and file.

Unions!

In my town’s recent silly council elections, the fire and police locals backed every one of the incumbents. There was a law and order slate and none were supported.

Every one of the incumbents are anti-cop, decriminalization of drug arrests, pro-vagrant, anti capitalists, socialists. My town is awash in looting, car thefts and now home invasions. No. This is not Compton or Chicago but little old Olympia Wa.

Says to me the first responder unions don’t give a rat’s ass about the citizens either.

LOL...someone needs to tell these fools that it is the Democrats and their eco-allies who want to destroy coal mining.

CNN’s headline reads:

“Coal miners want Joe Manchin to reverse opposition to Build Back Better”

As I tweeted: FAKE NEWS, CNN! Not “coal workers,” union bosses!

Hmmm. Perhaps the Union has heavy investments in “Green” energy?

They will not have to go far to find the devil!

Ask Jock Yablonski and his family.

...On New Year’s Eve, Yablonski, his wife and 25-year-old daughter were murdered, fatally shot at home by three gunmen found to have been hired on orders of Tony Boyle, Pres of UMW.

Good ole Unions-a handful of people who make a ton of money and wear the cloak of the blood sweat and tears of the rank and file they claim to represent.

It leads to such wonderful things as this: “vote for that bill that pays us off and ends coal mining.”

Just priceless.

Don’t budge Joe. Keep on stopping this evil agenda now and down the line.......leave the Demons.....go Republican or Independent. You may be surprised how long you’ll be in the Senate if you do the right thing, for the right reasons for the American people.

Like Obamacare, none of this garbage went through the public committee process where members grew familiar with the particulars.

Marxist NGOs colluded with rat leadership and dumped the mess on the House shortly before Pelosi demanded a (loyalty) vote.

Senators have more time to consider House bills, but typically rely on staffers to summarize them.

Ask for a separate bill, then. Don’t lump all the socialist crap in with occupational disease compensation packages.

“...said that the bill contained important measures that would benefit coal miners...”

It also contained measures that would put your members out of work...you filthy union bosses.

The eco-wackos want to kill off coal, so why waste the money on that union?

“They need to learn how to make solar panels”. </sarcasm>
