What if a union represents both sectors?
Ever heard of the Teamsters?

Small percentage of public employees are Teamsters. None here for example.What if a union represents both sectors?

Good for there. So apply it across the board. Sorry pal, our local here is 50/50. And none in the entire state you live in or just the local you belong to? Locals vary greatly in who and what they represent.

Maybe they should split the employment numbers between public employees who are Teamsters and those who are in public employee unions like AFSCME

Listen brother, the laws that have been passed by traditionally anti-union conservatives effect the ability of unions to organize and stay strong weather the members wouldāve been legal or illegal immigrants equally. You are a āblue collar Americanā, and youāve made it clear youāll be voting anti union due to your stance on illegal immigration. Hopefully illegal immigration is eliminated before unions are. Itās the United States, and god bless your right to vote that way. Maybe the āwhite collar Americansā that belong to unions wonāt feel the sameā¦ā¦.No you are. You're scary af coming at us with "I see no problem with endorsing 20 million out of thin air population increases. I mean do you even read the news about all the problems this is creating? Maybe if unions focused more of their time and energy recruiting blue collar Americans instead of fighting for the unicorn mafias wishlist new membership wouldn't be stagnant.
This country was populated by "legal immigrants". No one is saying stop all immigration. We are saying close theing loopholes.

The economy is great, volume is great. Nothing to see here. Endorse Biden in 2024. We want open borders and an importation of socialist loving people.

Workers want unions, but the latest data point to obstacles in their path: Private-sector unionization rose by more than a quarter million in 2023, while unionization in state and local governments fell
The recent surge in labor actions has not translated into higher unionization rates in the latest government data. Despite workersā desire for unions, their efforts to organize are being undermined by a broken system that has failed them.āÆāÆwww.epi.org
Back to my original point. Private union memberships grew 8 percent. And public sector fell over 30 percent.
from the article: When workers join unions, their wages rise, and their working conditions improve. But more than 50 years of efforts to block access to unions have taken a heavy toll on workersā rights. Employers have been exploiting weaknesses in U.S. labor law for decades, and federal and state policy have failed to prevent this.āÆ
Keep pretending itās not a thing, Joe Biden is one of the only presidents in history to actually say the word āunionā in a public address. He may be the first or second most pro union in history. How many āillegalsā have you seen yesterday or today? How does one count illegals? Very curious where some of these numbers come from.
The real problem with Joe is the way he is saying āunionā when he follows the script. The man has issues, we all know what we will be getting with Trump and right now it would be better than the train wreck in the Biden administration.
Totally with you on your assessment on corporate lobbyists destroying the collective bargaining abilities to organize and attract new members. The NLRB is toothless, the DOL is just a big bureaucracy, there are no safeguards in place to protect any organizing efforts. We see it with Fed Ex and Amazon who actively contribute contributions to selected politicians that make or enforce these Labor laws.

This is even more of an argument for our union being open to collect the Republican support that has grown significantly since 2009. Unions need all the friends in government that ithey can get, and the status quo liberal leadership is hurting that. At the end of the day it should be about workers, but it hasn't been for a long time.

The jobs report is based on a survey.
They don't ask about immigration status.

Trump has it bassackwards when he says theyāre not sending us their bestā¦ weāre getting the scrapiest and gutsiest and most loyal people in the hemisphere coming here. Imagine the guts it takes to look your family in the eye and tell them you love them and that youāre going to get the hell out of a bad situation by at least temporarily embarking on a journey thatās sure to be even worseā¦ all with the hope you can settle into a new country and work your hands down to the bone until you die, just to give your family a chance at a better life.
If I were an employer Iād want to hire anyone, undocumented or not, with this kind of character and resilience and loyalty.

Talk is cheap. Trump can ask for union support, then why did he appoint judges to the Supreme Court that would only toe the party line? And this sums up my argument here, Republicans realize getting union support would help win a lot of elections, but if they are only willing to make you think what matters like immigration reform is what is causing labor issues and not act on what actually matters and pass pro union bills and laws, then how can we support them?

Just how many of these illegals are paying into the SS or Medicare/Medicaid programs?
Most of them will be doing hard manual labor that our current citizens do not want to do. How many of these Companies are paying them cash only under the table ?
Not sure about their voting rights, I guess it depends on the State, will they be able to vote as illegals?
Whatās going to happen when our legal entitles start seeing their federal and state gravy train benefits be cut because of these newer ones. Going to be blood in the streets more than likely.
City and Federal taxes will need to go up in order to cover these illegals and their families, so everyone will be paying for Bidenās border policies over the last 3 1/2 years.

The Democrat platform is to give them citizenship and voting rights. They campaigned on it.

Who profits from entitlements when the recipients spend it?
I don't believe any politician truly wants to see it stop.

Any extra entitlement goes back to their families in their original countries, after the Cartelās takes itās cut.
Both sides are card sharks, I donāt trust any of them. My support for Trump is based on my pro life stance, I would vote for a three legged dog before I would vote for Biden. His whole demeanor discusses me, claiming to be a Catholic and expanding baby killings. Trump has more integrity in his little finger than Biden has in his whole body, study his history, he has always been a second banana. Truth be told he is just a mouthpiece for the third Obama term, we all know who is pulling the stringsā¦
