A political argument among people that identify with Democrats, Republicancs, and Trumpists got me thinking about these old PR images: anti-tax and pro-gun activities, the oligs used to accuse unions and regulators as threatening systemic destruction. The captive audience, a tied-up worker under a top-hat owner brings to mind the Starbucks CEO and Bezos at WaPo. The big union services guy reminds me of Noami Klein's worker-run factor in Argentina.

In deep-red Hardin County, Kentucky, workers are trying to unionize a new electric vehicle battery plant. If Donald Trump scraps the IRA, it may cost thousands of his supporters safe, well-paying jobs.

Boeing workers secure big gains after strike, but the future for organized labor under Trump is uncertain

Restoring the defined-benefit pension plan the workers gave up in 2013 was a rallying cry. But the union didn’t get it back even though it did win a significant pay increase.

Remember that most news articles coming out about the longshoremen strike center the companies and consumers over the workers and their demands to have an equitable share in profits.

May we all recognize that it takes sacrifice from all of us, but this hurts the striking longshoremen more than you craving your carbon-intensive imported bananas. Hunker down and stand in solidarity.
