Deranged Rhino Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Joe's giving a rally right now. It's a snooze fest. I'm waiting for the first heckler at one of his events when he starts talking about his family to ask about Hunter and his misadventures in China and Ukraine. That will be prime time TV. *haven't shown one wide shot to see how many people are there, but when the applause starts it sounds like a tomb. ... Now he's talking about fixing "our broken political system" -- of which he's been a cog in the machine for how long? Joe... this isn't going to go well for you.

Tiberius Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 https://client.prod.iaff.org/#contentid=91986 IAFF endorses Biden and Trump goes nuts! Quote As the 2020 Democratic primary for president of the United States heats up, the IAFF is supporting the one candidate who will protect our members on the job, help keep fire departments fully staffed and support your right to have a voice in the workplace. Based on his unequaled record on our union’s basket of issues and our long-standing core value of having our friends’ backs, the IAFF Executive Board - your elected representatives who make decisions on your behalf - has voted unanimously to endorse Joe Biden in his run for president of the United States in the Democratic primary. In addition, we did our due diligence and commissioned Zogby Strategies, a renowned national polling company, to conduct a poll targeting a sample of our 160,000 members who are likely to vote in their state's Democratic presidential primary. With a margin of error of 2.6 percent, the results showed that Biden has a strong lead over all contenders in the Democratic primary. Biden's record of support includes establishing the Public Safety Officers Benefit (PSOB) that today provides critical financial support ($359,000) to the families of our fallen and creating laws that continue to ensure our members get paid overtime after 53 hours of work. He has been there for us on our core basket of issues and will be there as we work to pass national collective bargaining and increase funding for the SAFER and FIRE Act grant programs. The announcement video below further explains the reasons for our union's support of Joe Biden and why it is vital for the IAFF to play a role in the Democratic party’s nominating process. a Trump Twitter rant: I’ll never get the support of Dues Crazy union leadership, those people who rip-off their membership with ridiculously high dues, medical and other expenses while being paid a fortune. But the members love Trump. They look at our record economy, tax & reg cuts, military etc. WIN! — Donald J.

And while the decision officially applies only to that company, legal experts said it was likely to affect a much larger portion of the industry. Unions won us things like federal minimum wage or overtime, or pay a share of Social Security taxes. More money and help for big bidness ...

However, the gig economy is growing and still in it's early stages. I just find it very disturbing that our country did IMHO a great thing in the early 20th century acquiring workers rights like a 40 hour work week, paid vacation, sick leave, SS contributions, child labor laws, etc. Now in the name of cool and tech we're ready to toss it all away. True companies will still have employees, but there will be less and less if they can pay less then minimum wage etc. America loves cheap labor.

Supply and demand will take care of the minimum wage thing. The federal minimum wage is $7.25 an hour. Some states have no minimum wage laws so the federal law takes precedence. Many states have their own set minimum wages. For example, California's is $12.00 an hour. NYS minimum wage is $11.10 an hour. My local (NYS) Walmarts have a sandwich board at their entrances advertising for help with a starting wage of $13.75 an hour. They've been up for months. No minimum wage caused Walmart to pay $2.65 an hour in excess of it. I refuse to pay to read the NYT so I can't remark about their article specifically but can't imagine based on the above that it is really telling the true story.
