Trump is going to ‘triangulate’ the unions and other Dem constituent groups. SEIU will not be part of any group he wins over.
I love this President!
The administration ought to look at the NAFTA rules allowing Mexican truckers to operate in the US. What are they really hauling?
More companies opening...Companies need buildings...Buildings are built by people...Companies are jobs...
Trump certainly doesn’t need any OJT on being the Chief Executive of a large Enterprise.
There are lots and lots of decaying manufacturing facilities that have been standing idle for years that need lots and lots of refurbishing before they can restart production. Hopefully Unions have learned they have to work with management and not against them to introduce the efficiencies necessary to overcome the low wages offshore and across borders.
Yup. The rank and file voted Trump.
They are making a lot of building components and shipping them here. As well a lot of the raw materials to make building components are being mined/extracted elsewhere.
“Trump certainly doesn’t need any OJT on being the Chief Executive of a large Enterprise.”
Exactly!! He’s an experiencved CEO, not somebody promoted from the mail room like you know who....
Steal their base away from them.
I heard after the meeting he gave them a tour of Oval Office, they were thrilled.
From your lips to God’s ears.
Another point I would make - in this election the AFL-CIO contributed tens of millions of their members money to HRC and the DemocRATS. The leadership is NOT on the Trump Train. Yet.
It’s the Good Deal...
Trump’s going to win over the BLT community. Count on it. He’ll get their votes when the truth about Islam is finally understood and he crushes them.
Milo can lead that parade.
Aye. Former Cruzer here. Always loved Trump as a kid growing up in Norther NJ but was worried he couldn’t win. I was wrong . He is delivering on EVERYTHING.
China is building all sorts of building materials and shipping them here. Without restrictive legislation and regulation many of those could be made here.
Sheetrock
Architectural panels
Concrete rebar
Steel
Many of the steel buildings being constructed are 100% made in China.
Elimination of the mexicans in the building trades will help the unions. Beside that, Trump likely knows all those present and especially the local leaders brought in to swell the size of the group. Brilliant
I think that the main, the primary result, was splitting the unions right down the middle.
The meeting was a slap, a disrespectful face losing action, directed at Richard Trumka and his industrial unions standing in the way of making America great again
It was a masterful stroke
What union leadership wants is more members paying more dues. Trump has dealt as fairly as possible with building trade unions for 40 years. I think they respect him and realize he is about to start an American revitalization. Trump’s policies will net leadership more cash than the rat payoffs they’ve collected since the 70’s.
I’ve been a teamster for 30 years and for the first time I think leadership could look me in the eye and honestly say our policy (supporting Trump) will help your family.
What is this weird Trumpian world I’ve found myself in?
Well, I AM on the side of unions to the point that they were needed at one time, and should be a corrective-—as long as they aren’t militant against non-members-—to corporations.
Both corps/mgt and unions screwed up in the “Golden Accident of the 1950s. Because there was no real competition, anywhere, from 1946-1960, unions could ask for irrational wage increases and bennies and companies, not bound by cost, could just give in rather than fight. It bit them hard in the 60s and 70s and 80s.
Unions where membership is not force, where dues are not stolen from non-workers, can be very effective and balance companies. We got away from that.
Leftards have to be crapping their pants.
The best strategy is to have your enemy come over to your side and not have the fight at all. IOW - what you just saw. Brilliant!
