#christmas #unions
“us”? Unions have always had issues with women. UAW once has a strike over hiring them.
Unions have been gaining class consciousness since their inception. It took a general strike of only white people in New Orleans for unions to realize that they will never succeed unless they accept and fight for black people too. The Wilmar 8 strike was a turning point for unions accepting women. Not to mention that this is probably from the IWW, which has always accepted women.
Are you saying what I said did not happen or are you downplaying it?
You gave one item of evidence, I would assume they’re saying it’s not enough to be able to say that about unions (that they have always had issues with women). They addressed what you said and added to it, so neither?
Are you saying what I said did not happen or are you downplaying it?
We’re all saying that you’re up-playing it. It’s not that hard to understand.
Here, let me help you:
Reporting facts is up-playing. Very well. Disneyfy it
Are the facts representative though?
Lol … those benefits aren’t gifts that were freely given.
People had to fight, get beaten, lose money, lose houses, lose property and years ago even get killed to even establish those benefits and normalize them today.
I have old elderly friends who took part in union movements in the 40s and 50s, many of whom complained of getting beaten and threatened and a few recalling friends and relatives murdered for organizing successful strike action.
If we had left it to corporations and wealthy elites to give these benefits freely, they would withhold everything and prefer that slavery were reintroduced than to give up anything.
Those aren’t gifts … those are hard fought rights that people literally died for.
Elon misses the good old times.
