Summary
Acting Labor Secretary Julie Su expressed skepticism about Donald Trump’s claims of being a pro-worker.
Su cited Trump’s past anti-union policies and his billionaire advisers, such as Elon Musk, an outspoken union opponent.
Su highlighted infrastructure investments, increased labor protections, and enforcement of wage theft laws, but expressed concerns that Trump’s return could reverse these gains.
She condemned plans for mass deportations and budget cuts, warning they would harm vulnerable workers.
its almost as if the pro working man thing was a grift and a lie.
Pot calling the kettle black?
That is 100 percent true.
Sure you can. All you have to do is redefine “working class” as the class that sucks up to the billionaires, willfully enabling them.
The previous working class is split between proliteriat (the greater majority) and the bootlickers (the new working class).
I think the term for that is “subjects”
“Peasants” works too.
I think the most accurate term really though is “livestock.”
trump’s meaning of “pro-worker” is “pro-corpo”, the “people” that work for ceos /billionaires.
oh, maybe he just misspelled that.
You can if you don’t have a worker class because no-one has jobs anymore.
Seems like a false dichotomy.
Or maybe I don’t understand why “pro billionaire” has to be a maximalist position.
Like, having the rule of law and property rights is already massively pro-billionaire (and pro-labor too).
