Collective bargaining is a right that helps employers and employees.

Iโ€™m concerned by reports that Boeing locked out IAFF I-66 members. I encourage folks to return to the table to secure a deal that benefits Boeing and gets these firefighters the pay and benefits they deserve.

Corey Hill: This company [Daimler] didn't have record profits without the workers. We're tired of being disrespected & they're not sharing their profits. We're tired of worrying about our jobs.

Corey Hill: In North Carolina, we're 2% unionized. I'm really proud of our membership for holding strong because we're not in a huge union population. It truly is a movement in the South, & it's a movement by the people.

Corey Hill: We're fighting for job security so we don't have layoffs in our plants. Small businesses wouldn't have to worry about their foot traffic is going down. Securing this contract for four more years brings stability to y'all.

Corey Hill: We did practice strikes. We did pickets. They did chants in the plant, which was unreal. The members walked four, five, six deep into businesses & said, we shop here & we just want to let you know we're in negotiation.

Corey Hill: Job security was a big thing for us because we do have plants in Mexico. Over 15 years, we've seen seven layoffs at our facilities because of that.

Rick: Over 94% of the members voted to ratify this contract.

Corey Hill:We got rid of 2-tier last contract, but we had an equality difference in our plants. A welder in a plant that built buses wasn't getting paid the same as a welder in a truck plant, but we were doing the same thing. We were able to get fair wages across the board.

Corey Hill: It's a big win for our membership. They're the ones who did it, the strength, the solidarity across the board. There are six locals in our council, 4 in NC, 1 in TN, 1 in GA.

Rick: The UAW has just been killing it. UAW members in NC ratified what they're calling a historic contract at Daimler Truck in NC, TN, GA. Nice raise, some ending the two-tier wage system, cost of living adjustments.

Rick: Trump says he plans to send kill teams into Mexico to fight the war on drugs.
Bob Ney: It's amazing. At least he tied it to drugs & not just people trying to walk to the border.

Rick: I think the Stormy Daniels case is the only case that's going to get a decision before the election b/c clearly the documents case is delayed indefinitely. The thing in Georgia is a mess.

Bob Ney: The whole jailing & the jumpsuit & the Secret Service having to go into the jail--it would be a martyr kingdom for Trump.

Rick: The dream & hope of Trump going to jail may not happen except maybe for his repeated violations of the gag order. What's it been, ten times now?

Bob Ney: Smith's case is now being punted down eventually by the Supreme Court, which then the lower courts make decisions on what's immunity or not. That's almost item by item, which forces the Justice Department to go back & recarve the indictment.

Bob Ney: What amazed me was Gov Noem's ability to think that by putting this in the book she showed how tough she is. 'Look at me--I shot my puppy so you gotta vote for me.' Seriously, that's where her mind went.
