California increase in minimum wage
- Thread starter dssm
- Start date
Wasn't your labor union able to mandate a living wage? What makes you think you're any better or different. Sure, you have a union.....but legislation created it.....and legislation can abolish it.
He was only one state's governor but now we wait to see if he does the same as several Trump administration people did and that is to ignore the subpoena or take the Fifth on every question as Trump did. Given that they did it you tell me....why should he not do the same? If they can get away with it why should he not do the same?Needless like these?

I work with a lot of people who live paycheck to paycheck making six figures, so I guess everyone’s idea of what is a living wage. We make a good wage. Living wage is relitive.

You are choosing the power of government over the power of the people to assemble and redress grievances.
You should go read the definition of a dictatorship, since that is what you’re advocating.

Okay, Chicken Little, patrolling and defending your country’s borders is not a police state. Your hysteria is hysterical.

Wrong.
Are you trying to tell me that UPS would have WILLINGLY recognized the Teamsters if there was no legislation in place that would have compelled them to recognize it? You tell me why would they do it if they didn't have to?
Does that include the Canadian border? Are you now trying to tell me that there are no illegals coming in from our northern border?
Like they did on January 6th 2021?

You need to learn some history buddy.
My union was created in 1903.
In 1916, the founder of UPS asked the teamsters to unionize his workers.
So frankly buddy, you have no idea WTH you're even talking about.

Speaking of the Teamsters.

Minimum Wage Gains Shows the Power of Workers
The new year is bringing a pay raise to millions of people a record 56 states and localities thanks to minimum wage increases instituted through legislation and
teamster.org
Here's what you've overlooked. It wasn't until the NLRA was passed in the mid 1930's that provided the Teamsters with "protected conduct" did the Teamsters actually have legal standing. Outside of local and regional areas of strength it didn't have much national influence and much of what it did gain was accomplished through sheer violence and intimidation.
Now that SCOTUS has granted state courts the right to hold unions accountable for damages and economic loss the employer suffers at the hands of Teamster union activities further illustrates the weakening power of labor unions.
Now where did I say that was a good thing? It's simply changing times and labor unions will have to find other ways to remain relevant on the labor front.

First Amendment: …”or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
Trump called for a peaceful protest. Unfortunately, the protesters paid attention to what happened during the BLM protests, some mimicked them.

Yes. Protect all borders.
