The Tradesman

Here's your friendly reminder that, according to The US Department of Labor, "the percent of wage and salary workers who were members of unions was 9.9% in 2024" Would you have guessed that based on how our legislators act? #meritshopstrong

@Teamsters @HawleyMO @SenBooker x.com/gygnetwork/sta…

The Teamsters Union commends @HawleyMO (R-MO) and @SenBooker (D-NJ) for introducing the Faster Labor Contracts Act, which would require employers to collectively bargain with newly organized workers within 10 days of voting to form their union. The legislation is co-sponsored by @SenGaryPeters (D-MI), @berniemoreno (R-Ohio), and @SenJeffMerkley (D-OR). “Greedy corporations will stop at nothing to keep workers from getting a fair first contract. Their playbook is simple: stall, delay, and drag out negotiations to deny workers from securing the wages and conditions they deserve,” said Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien. “Teamsters are proud to support the Faster Labor Contracts Act — real labor law reform that forces employers to bargain in good faith and holds them accountable when they don’t." The Faster Labor Contracts Act would amend the National Labor Relations Act to create a clear timetable to securing a first union contract.

@Teamsters @HawleyMO @SenBooker @berniemoreno Ohio merit shops will not forget this. We rallied for you, we donated to you, we elected you and we will not forget how quickly you forgot us.

I'm sure it's just a coincidence though that every video is directed the same, and written the same, and edited the same...

Shout out to our friends @berniemoreno and @philipletsou (Bernie's Chief of Staff) for completely betraying all Merit Shop workers across Ohio and the country! Hope the Union money was worth it, Senator!

Apoorva Ramaswamy, Whitney, me, and Vivek Ramaswamy following breakfast this morning, during which Vivek talked about what it will take to make Ohio what it once was, the hub of innovation and prosperity - "the lab for the country that showed the rest of the nation what was possible." One Ohio lawmaker told me, "That was a speech to say 'I'm running for governor' if I've ever heard one." #Inauguration2025 #inauguration #JDVance #DonaldTrump #protectprosperity @VivekGRamaswamy

A super helpful and fascinating thread Would love to know what you guys think about this situation!

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has recounted how, when threatened with a lawsuit, Dr. Anthony Fauci was forced to admit that none of the 72 vaccines that are currently mandated for children in the US has ever been safety tested.

NEW: Chaos breaks out after police block the entrance to South Korean parliament following President Yoon’s declaration of martial law. Special forces were reportedly seen entering the building. Martial law commander Park An-su released the following statement: All political activities are banned in South Korea following the imposition of martial law on Tuesday and all media will be subject to government monitoring. All political activities, including those of the national assembly, local councils, political parties, and political associations, as well as assemblies and demonstrations, are strictly prohibited. All media and publications shall be subject to the control of the martial law command.

This could either end up being nothing or the start of something much bigger. Hopefully it's the first one

@stoolpresidente It's also crazy that Hunter Biden just got pardoned for the laptop that 51 intel experts said was Russian disinformation.

🚨 Skilled Trades Alert 🚨 The U.S. faces a huge shortage: for every 1 new skilled tradesperson, there are 20 job openings.
