“Them guys said he was dripping in sweat. Them guys said that guy was asking for water,” said Teamster 667 Union Chief Maurice Wiggins. “He did walk to produce a couple of times to cool off, and that’s where he ended up passing at, in the produce section on the dock in front of all his coworkers.”

    As conservatives laugh their asses off…

    Conservatives are busy passing laws to make it harder for people to survive the heat, removing the ability for workers to get water, shade or breaks even during heat waves.

    Conservatives fucking despise the working class. Never, ever forget that.

        Even if that was true, at least they make the effort.

        Yesterday there was that article on here about the NLRB reviving rules in a huge win for unions by forcing recognition of unions if an employer fires unionizing employees prior to the vote by the employees.

        That NLRB action wouldn’t have occurred under a conservative push.

          Major difference is that the working class does not see the benefits of the crips being in power.

          That is why elections are close every time.

          Each party just does the minimum to keep voters happy.

          Crips are trying harder due to competition of RFK Jr. and Dr. West for 2024.

          Third parties are what we should aim for, we just need 5% for funding.

          Rebuilding of the movment would need to start again due to Bernie Sanders becoming the loyal dog of the crips.
