She says the same thing over and over again. And she is lying all the time

[uhdonjr]

I wasn't in the mood for tossed salad tonight.

[MrBuddy-rw]

Corporate greed is the cause. Maximize profits for the shareholders at the expense of the workers who make those profits, but just give the workers peanuts.

[rebeccapauley]

The change in her makeup and adding lashes does not make her tell the truth!

[mattcarter]

She is a flat out liar....
If what she said was true, Congress wouldn't have stopped a rail strike.
Just wish we could get some honesty once in a while.

I have predicted this in my book titled "Roadmap to Haiti's Next Revolution" back in 2012. Elected authorities in tandem with the oligarchy in countries recipient of US dollars - (remittances sent abroad by immigrants)- that is nations with large recent immigrant population living in the US will not strive to create jobs but will give incentives for their population to leave their homelands and migrate to the United States since the more of their people they have living in the US the more money can be sent back to those recipient countries. Classic fleecing of America while undermining our economic stability. I am an immigrant by the way. I side with the "legal immigration only" crowd.

I hope the strike last for the next 15 months.

That’s funny someone put eyelashes on this woman 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

[mightyriver]

She actually means: " no one wants to put up with a strike and we lefties wouldn't but it's POTUS election time so we'll put up with it until we get your votes . After that you go back to work or well send the national guard to beat the living daylights out of you". 😂🎉❤🤣😭😍😝

He cares for the workers not, the creaters of jobs, paying taxes matching taxes he is trying to make opsolite How sweet his money could buy the company and let the workers run it You fund it

Remembering (H.Con.Res. 119) all Senate’s votes against minimums of 7 paid sick days per year for rail workers (evidently voted December 1, 2022) were 42 out of 50 (at the time) Republican Senators plus Joe Manchin (all other Democratic Senators who voted on this [44 Democratic Senators] plus the only two Independent Senators at the time, Bernie Sanders and Angus King, evidently voted for minimums of 7 paid sick days per year for rail workers, and there were 5 Senators, 2 Republicans and 3 Democrats, who abstained from the vote) for voting against minimums of 7 paid sick days per year for rail workers, and remembering all House votes against minimums of 7 paid sick days per year for rail workers (evidently voted November 30, 2022) were 207 out of 213 House Republicans (218 out of 219 House Democrats voted for minimums of 7 paid sick days per year for rail workers [1 House Democrat abstained from this vote]) for voting against minimums of 7 paid sick days per year for rail workers (currently many rail workers evidently have 0 paid sick days, and rail workers’ employment statuses evidently are often penalized or terminated for having any sick days, while mega rail companies evidently make billions of dollars in profits per year, and while these minimums of 7 paid sick days per year for these mega companies’ rail workers evidently would be fully tax deductible from these mega rail companies’ taxes on billions of dollars in profits per year, and while Senators and Representatives evidently have unlimited paid sick days, and while minimums of 7 paid sick days per year, perhaps evidently, would perhaps strengthen health, safety, longevity, and morale of millions of USA workers, USA families, and the USA economy) is smart, prudent, and factually very comprehensively necessary immediately

What are their wages and benefits now? Anyone know?
According to the UAW they make $92k in wages plus profit sharing in Jan of 2023 of $12, 750 plus full health insurance with vision and dental, paid holidays and personal days, 401k plus a pension, life insurance, spousal supplemental pension benefits after the passing of the worker, disability insurance, dependent life and health insurance that survives the worker.
No wonder they feel oppressed.

[goatfokerkadyrov]

Almost 50% of vehicles made in USA are non-UAW —— see ya UAW, into the dustbin of history 😢

[deadlyta]

Hope this ends up better then it did for yellow

[teresaoneill]

They will, but why. JB will bite them hard in their Achilles heal with SUPER HIGH GAS PRICES!!?!! So, what now.

[MrBuddy-rw]

Thank you Karine. We need more level headed people like you.
