    The guy who’s never met a worker he couldn’t stiff was on the side of workers? Frankly I’m shocked he hasn’t fucked over the labor force harder.

    Yup. My cousin is IBEW, and in 2024 they straight up told all of them that if the the orange pedo wins they may not exist in 2028

    And I have a coworker who used to work for a solar manufacturing company. They outright said if he gets back in, “we’re fucked”.

    of course the technofascist bloatligarch class is going to be completely opposed to anything that hinders the exploitation of the serf class. they’ve hated unions more than anything since unions were invented, because preventing worker exploitation is the union’s purpose for existence. “oh the peons in store #015247 have unionized? i guess we’re closing that store then”

    🔴 The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) cut workplace inspections by 20%

    🔵 The administration has repeatedly delayed implementation of a rule to limit silica dust

    🟡 The Trump administration has proposed eliminating federal minimum wage and overtime protections for 3 million homecare workers who take care of seniors and the disabled

    ⚫ He has pushed aggressively ahead with his unprecedented campaign to strip 1 million federal employees of their ability to bargain collectively

    🟣 President Trump fired Gwynne Wilcox, the pro-union chair of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). This is the first time a US president has fired an NLRB member.

    ⚪️ He signed an executive chopping the minimum wage that federal contractors must pay their employees, to $13.30 an hour from $17.75

    🟠 The Trump administration moved to scrap a Biden-era rule and make it easier for employers to classify workers as independent contractors

    🟢 As part of an investigation into opposition to ICE’s operations in Minnesota, Trump’s Department of Homeland Security got hold of financial records from two leading unions, the Service Employees International Union and the Communications Workers of America, saying that this was part of an inquiry into “domestic terrorism financing”
