The United Mine Workers of America labour union(UMWA) have only 20,000 Coal miners, not the 80,000 being reported: The coal miners’ UNION just asked Joe Manchin to back Biden’s big bill – here’s why – December 22, 2021,
As more Americans become better educated and more informed, more individuals, in general, are abandoning labour unions and working as private contractors. Why pay income taxes and union dues, when you can pursue the American dream? Even if you’re going to work as an employee, getting paid with wages as well as Stocks and other perks likely to be offered by the employer are being pursued over-reliance of a labor union, many of which haven’t produced the results they promised to the workers who gave up their rights to negotiate independently with their employers.
In this era of big government, I personally see no reason for a labor union? Why waste the money when these pathetic politicians will say and do anything for your vote? With that said, let’s cut the crap please, Joe Manchin is not Republican, in fact, a lot of Republicans are getting angry with other Republicans for attempting to recruit him, because at best Joe Manchin would be a Rhino Republican.
Nobody would even notice Joe Manchin if Bill Clinton was the current President of the United States, the problem with Joe Biden is his administration, he choose the wrong people and as we’ve observed with Joe Biden he’s not a leader. Bill Clinton got caught lying and Americans still loved the man, why? Because everyone knew he was in charge and he wasn’t going to be pushed around by the minority socialists in his Party.
Joe Biden and his administration don’t have the appearance that they know what they’re doing, and it’s for this reason why the more aggressive Socialist Wing of the Party has been creating all sorts of unnecessary problems. Joe Biden should have passed the infrastructure bill and saved the social spending for 2022. Why didn’t he do this? because of the Bernie Sanders-led Socialist Democrats.
Now, Hilary Clinton said years ago “Nobody likes him” when referring to Bernie Sanders, and the reason nobody likes Bernie Sanders is that there’s nothing DEMOCRATIC about his democratic socialism. People are harassing Joe Manchin into capitulating? Who does that? and Bernie Sanders is fanning the flames, now do honestly think that moderate Democrats didn’t see this ahead of time?
When structured people have conversations with radicals, they can see things others will ignore, Bernie Sanders is an old teenager, he’s one of the most consistent politicians in America, but he hasn’t grown up yet, he’s a big kid and when you realize that Bernie Sanders is a horrible negotiator, you start to see why Joe Biden is a horrible leader.
If you’re Joe Biden you have to stand up to the bully, I wonder sometimes if Joe Biden is either compromised or he has an extremely low IQ. Some people will argue there’s a cognitive decline, well if the President has dementia, is Joe Manchin being blamed for the more aggressive Socialist Democrats destroying the Democrat Party? I think if there’s a genuinely a democratic socialism movement in America the Democrat Party should split and see which party is more popular.
The Libertarian Party is a non-factor, most Libertarians vote for the Republican Party, Joe Biden needs to take back control of his Party, and allow the Democratic Socialists to form their own Party. Bernie Sanders is still labeled as an independent and it would be nice if he stopped trying to coop the Democrat Party because the reality is that most Democrat voters are moderates and know where Joe Manchin is coming from.
The United Mine Workers of America (UMW or UMWA) is a North American labor union best known for representing coal miners. Today, the Union also represents health care workers, truck drivers, manufacturing workers, and public employees in the United States and Canada. Although its main focus has always been on workers and their rights, the UMW of today also advocates for better roads, schools, and universal health care. By 2014, coal mining had largely shifted to open-pit mines in Wyoming, and there were only 60,000 active coal miners. The UMW was left with 35,000 members, of whom 20,000 were coal miners, chiefly in underground mines in Kentucky and West Virginia. However it was responsible for pensions and medical benefits for 40,000 retired miners and for 50,000 spouses and dependents
The lies coming from the media have to stop, all of this gaslighting is unnecessary, a reminder that labor unions UMW or UMWA do not represent ALL coal miners. I began this article the way I did for a reason. People have been abandoning labor unions in America. The only labor unions in America flourishing are public-sector labor unions because voters in many instances are being FORCED to finance big government.
Private Sector unions and their one-size-fits-all scare tactics often destroy American industry and more and more Employees are figuring this out. So when you read articles, try to remember that Lobbyist groups are a real thing, and the rich and powerful pay a lot of money to CONTROL THE NARRATIVE you read or listen to.
Coal miners want Joe Manchin to reverse opposition to Build Back Better | CNN.com
Build Back Better and its social spending is for the most part corporate welfare, now that labor union numbers are dwindling a lot of labor unions which are businesses themselves, by the way, are merging with multinational companies, to force the government to give them contracts. If you’re working with a labor union you ought to pay close attention to the leaders of your union, because as is the case in countries like Argentina, a lot of union bosses are getting very wealthy, while the workers get shafted.
Interesting times ahead!
