Sinking themselves — pathetic American labor unions

Not for Bernie Sanders this time around?

 

Labor is reportedly sitting on the sidelines, during the Democratic presidential primary process.

 

For instance, Politico said that the New Hampshire unions that supported Bernie Sanders in 2016 are not adopting him early this time around. And that's after 2016, when Hillary Clinton's malevolent crew of militaristic plutocrats stole the nomination from him. Meaning from the one Democrat, who probably would have beaten Donald Trump.

 

The union's attributed 2020 rationale?

 

 

“There's a lot of candidates talking about what he talked about last time,” said Rich Gulla, the president of SEA-SEIU Local 1984, which represents the state’s employees.

 

“Look at the field and look at the polling. I could talk to a dozen different members and get a dozen different responses on who they like. There's just too many in the field right now to narrow that down.”

Evidently

 

American labor apparently needs the Establishment to tell it what and whom it should be for.

 

 

The moral? — A philosophically disorganized worker "class" keeps getting what its economic masters impose

 

Labor should be choosing and telling, not following.

 

That the American working class does not do this, indicates how philosophically inept its leadership has been for decades.

 

We're still drinking Oligarchs' self-serving propaganda about how things are and should be.

 

Wake up.
