Doubt he will forget that.

Looks like it took him less than two weeks to forget Union workers, LOL

How "bad" was it compared to just about every other country on earth? It's ok though - freedumb did a trick on you - enjoy fascism.

Don't worry, the typical union worker these days supports the GQP/ANP completley because they completley forgot who paved the way for them to enjoy the benefits of unioniziation. They'll find someone to blame other than themselves - probably immigrants (even after they're all gone).

I think our unions did a decent job this cycle of getting us pretty good paychecks. Now perhaps this new administration will let us keep more of our money. I would be happy with that outcome.

What did he do in his first term to destroy unions? Can you really tell me President Biden was a friend of labor after what he did to the railroad workers. Now you’re worried about prices going up? Really??

Musk didn't buy Trump's first presidency. Musk has been working with Bezos to rule the NLRB unconstitutional. Now that Musk bought the presidency, it looks like he is starting to get his way

Of course you have no facts to back anything you just said up. If Musk were to come out and bash trump tomorrow the democrats would be praising him and calling him a hero.

What musk might do tomorrow is irrlevant. What he and trump are doing now is very relevant, and presently that includes taking action that can and will harm union interests in any industry, from government workers to pilots to auto workers, police unions, education, retail, etc. Mus, along with the petulent white house puppet, is systematically going after institutions that threaten his business interests.

Trump told UAW workers to stop paying union dues. Trump doesn't support employees rights to organize, or bargain. He absolutely does not support the right to strike. The NLRB members under trump moved agaist unions and unionization several times. He's never been in favor of organized labor. Throughout his first term, he pushed aggressively to harm the right to organize, stymie wages and benefits, stack the decks against organized labor, and dismantle protections for workers.

Our current feckless "leader" has demostrated a history of anti-worker and anti-union intent, from opposing increases to the minimum wage to shots at the riduciary rule and retirement savings. The dept of labor's overtime rule was damaged, affecting millions. His administration threatened (and continues to threaten) social security. His admin pushed for right-to-work, oversaw recalssification of up to a third fo workers as "independent," and were, and are firing fools when it comes to unions, probationary workers, and gederal agencies. His minions revoked an existing labor contract in the Dept of Education (and now seek to dismantle it), and managed to strip workers of representation and guarantees. They sought to take away health care, undertook numerous trade agreements not favorable to workers or unions, sought to revoke child labor protections, worsened mine safety, cut the Dept of Labor's budget, and put two union-busting activists on the National Labor Relations Board. And, of course, much, much more. Neither musk, or the little orange man are favorable in any way or unions or organized labor, aviation or otherwise.

Musk did not contribute money to Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. That is a fact.

Musk and Bezos have a lawsuit arguing the NLRB is unconstitutional. That is a fact.

Musk “donating” $270 million to Trump’s campaign (fact), and the NLRB being hobbled in the first 3 weeks of the new administration? That’s one hell of a fortuitous coincidence!

Leave the what-aboutisms and the “culture warrior” cosplaying for the children at the playground and wake up. Neither Musk or Trump are friends of the working class.

You do realize that his appointee to Labor Sec Lori Chavez-DeRemer is a union lackey, right?

Word is that she is so unpalatable to Republican Senators that she won't get cofirmed,
