Far-right plan for a Republican presidency would undercut unions, strip child labor laws and boost corporate profits
Donald Trump proclaimed he was for “all the forgotten men and women”, in his acceptance speech at the Republican convention. His vice-presidential pick JD Vance consistently portrays himself as a pro-worker populist. But an analysis of the labor chapter of Project 2025 – an ambitious rightwing plan to guide the next Republican presidency – found it has little to offer them.
Project 2025’s labor section proposes hardly anything to improve workers’ wages and working conditions. It is, however, chock full of recommendations that would boost corporate profits, undercut labor unions and advance the rightwing culture war.
Project 2025 contains several recommendations that would, when taken together, cut the pay of millions of workers, especially by making overtime pay available to fewer workers, even though many Americans rely on overtime pay to make ends meet. This so-called “Presidential Transition Project” shows outright hostility toward government employee unions – whether police unions, firefighters’ unions or teachers’ unions – saying that Congress should consider abolishing all public sector unions. Project 2025 would further undermine unions by recommending a ban on the use of card check, one of labor’s most effective tools to organize workers. Once a union gets a majority of employees at a workplace to sign pro-union cards, unions often point to this majority support to persuade employers to grant union recognition and bargain.
Trump sat in front of a room full of black journalists and when replying to allegations of racism, he said he had done more for black people than any other president since Abraham Lincoln.
At this point he is going to claim anything to anyone all the way to his insurrection day
If I was a news anchor I’d simply show Trump say something then proclaim the exact opposite, which is almost always true.
For example when Trump says,
I don’t know what project 2025 is
We should hear-I know exactly what it is and will push it.
Trump-Ive done more for black folks than any other president
Means- He’s literally done nothing to help blacks and doesn’t think he should pay for black jobs.
Trump- Fake News
Reality - 100% absolutely true and inconvenient for the shit Trump’s trying to grift.
Trump - Make America great
Reality - Destroy democracy son I can stay out of jail.
Trump - Any place any time
Reality - Any place anytime as long as I can choose the place and time and rules and they can’t fact check any of my lies.
Trump- I’m not weird
Reality -fucking weird and gross
There’s no such thing as a pro labour conservative
Shocker!
Can we all just agree at this point that we know exactly who this man is? More news stories like that please!!!
We need a name for the law that says putting “Trump says” or “trump believes” in the headline is an automatic fail.
