Trump Opens New Attack on Workers

Norman2024: Your last sentence reads: "Yet not a peep of protest from the IBT or organized labor."

I agree with your post 100%, except I'm not sure there's been "... no peep from organized labor." Certainly, there's been no opposition voiced by our GP O'Brien; if anything, O'Brien has made it clear to all that he is supportive of the Trump/MAGA movement. Other Unions and certainly lots and lots of organized workers have loudly voiced opposition to Trump's erasure of history campaign. And, after all, the members of the Union are the Union.

The IBT website routinely posts notices about both Black and "Hispanic" history months - but these IBT website posts are barren of any recognition of the attacks taking place today, and no recognition that Trump ("One tough SOB" according to O'Brien's RNC speech) and his racist minions are out to set back the gains made in the civil rights movement and erase the liberation history and decades of struggles.

It's interesting that the TDU website has recently posted a couple of articles and statements concerning immigrant rights and immigrant leadership in recent Teamster struggles - Mauser and University of Minnesota strike actions. Is the TDU leadership softening their reluctance or failure to confront Sean O'Brien's right wing racist ideology? Time is running out to take a stand TDU members and veterans of the Teamster democracy movement. The time is now to confront the elected IBT leadership: Dump O'Brien and any elected leaders who feel no compulsion to call the Trump/MAGA movement what it is: a ruling class fascist movement. After all, how will we answer the age old labor movement question: WHICH SIDE ARE YOU ON?
