UAW President is afraid of something, why else would he file federal labor charges against Trump?

 

UAW files federal labor charges against Donald Trump and Elon Musk

Trump’s interview with Musk plagued with tech issues

The United Auto Workers Union has lodged federal labor accusations against former President Donald Trump and Elon Musk, as announced recently.

In a post on X, the union claims they unlawfully tried to intimidate workers advocating for their rights during protected activities like strikes.

Musk interviewed Trump for two hours on X Spaces a few weeks back, attracting over 1 million viewers.

In a recent interview, Trump lauded Musk as the "greatest cutter," likely referencing the extensive layoffs at X (formerly Twitter). "I see what you do: 'Want to quit?' and if they strike, it's 'You're all gone,'" he remarked. UAW President Shawn Fain responded sharply, emphasizing that such actions undermine workers' rights protected under the National Labor Relations Act.

Let’s reeducate Mr. Fain on the National Labor Relations Act of 1935:

NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS ACT 29 U.S.C. §§ 151-169

[Title 29, Chapter 7, Subchapter II, United States Code]

Mr. Fain, Unions were established for the reasons listed in the following paragraph. While they aren't as important as they used to be, these days unions are nothing more than greedy organizations that like to take advantage of their members by draining their paychecks with overcharged union due that do nothing for the workers. 

 Section 1.[§151.] The denial by some employers of the right of employees to organize and the refusal by some employers to accept the procedure of collective bargaining lead to strikes and other forms of industrial strife or unrest, which have the intent or the necessary effect of burdening or obstructing commerce by (a) impairing the efficiency, safety, or operation of the instrumentalities of commerce; (b) occurring in the current of commerce; (c) materially affecting, restraining, or controlling the flow of raw materials or manufactured or processed goods from or into the channels of commerce, or the prices of such materials or goods in commerce; or (d) causing diminution of employment and wages in such volume as substantially to impair or disrupt the market for goods flowing from or into the channels of commerce. (National Labor Relations Act, 2024)

UAW Boss Shawn Fain claims that Donald Trump consistently prioritizes billionaires like Elon Musk over hardworking individuals. Fain claims that Trump wants the working class to remain silent, this could be further from the truth. In fact, Trump wants the unions to stop being so greedy and self-serving over the workers they claim to represent and to stop manipulating the members in their charge with political agendas not aligned with the American dream because their actions reflect a troubling disregard for everyday people. Fain’s claims and accusations are not only untrue, but an outright political power struggle statement to ensure union workers across the country vote Democrat on election day. Why would I say this, I’ve got over 40 years of experience in the political arena, and I know a political manipulation statement when I see one. Voters need to understand that the Unions in America were originally formed by democrats who were run by the Tammany Hall bureaucrats who were out to make money for themselves by way of bribes, corruption, and intimidation. Surprisingly enough nothing has changed within the unions in America since the Tammany Hall days of the unions. Unlike the UAW and other unions across this country, Former President Trump has been 110% behind the working citizens of America during his term in office, in fact under his Presidency, the economy was much better for working Americans because more Americans were buying American Made products over international products during his Presidency.  

Fain accused Musk of contributing more than $45 million a month to get Trump elected.  Hate to tell Mr. Fain but it’s illegal to contribute that much to any presidential campaign or even a super PAC under Federal Election Laws.

What I find funny and ironic about Fain’s statements about Mr. Trump is the utter embarrassment he is thrusting upon the Union Workers of the UAW, because his predecessors Dennis Williams and Gary Jones, both former UAW Presidents were convicted of bribery and corruption, plus misappropriation of union funds and sent to prison, who’s to say Fain won’t fall for the same lavish situations whereas he would use union funds for his own personal greed?  If I was a union member, I’d be questioning every penny of union funds spent. If those funds aren’t used for union members and their families, I’d be raising a serious stink for sure.

So, my question for Mr. Fain is this – What are you so afraid of should Former President Trump were to become elected once again? It appears you are scared of something with your political agenda you’re spewing in recent articles and interviews.
