As a nurse who worked for the state of Rhode Island way back in the 70’s, we organized! Best thing that ever happened! We had rights finally! You can only push people so far! A company is only as good as the employees make it! When you do do not respect them as the company makes huge profits it is disgusting, the workers are forced to stand up and say enough is enough!

American workers are saying enough!

My sister was a Nurse and several years ago came home complaining about the CEO at Swedish Hospital, Colorado, that the CEO was making multi-million dollars a year, yet they complained that raising wages for nurses was unaffordable. Her husband, who was anti union, tried to convince her to not get involved with the Union. These right wing Repubs are always voting against their own interest......

In general, the Nurses Union tried to get the best deal they could back then. My sister and her husband and two boys have become major gun nuts, and right wing Repubs. They see me as the bad Uncle, which makes no sense. I have always tried to be kind, but I think they see this as a weakness. Sad.......I'm sure I will be shunned again this Thanksgiving......

Sorry about your family.

They are wrong it's not weakness your behavior on the contrary.

I hope you're right. I tend to see the younger working class as fairly politically aloof. I think this election is riding on them, particularly women.

Union power! It's when Burnham Wood comes to Dunsinane. They'll never know what hit 'em.

I am so impressed with these persistent Blue Collar folks without which we’d be bereft. It’s wonderful to see their hard won victories.

Mike, I just shared #19 about the stunning union movement sweeping the US. I feel SO uplifted. I belonged to a union during my 40 years in education in NYC. This voter bloc is key for the BLUE TSUNAMI to prevail! Thank you, Michael Moore.

40’s or 50’s ? I’m going to take a class every time it’s necessary for the rest of my life as to evade repayment. There’s no way in hell I could get the debt payed off by even 50, unless I sold my soul.

I feel much happier about the unions than I do about the Democrats.

Today we are being bombarded about Republicans taking the lead in the polls because of inflation. The generic poll goes up and down over the weeks like a kid bouncing in a bouncy house!! If there is going to be a blue Tsunami, and I believe also there is, what the hell is going on with these polls!!!!

Let's hope the "working class" of which I am a member, has finally reached their limits and get out to vote, come hell or high water, or voter suppression. This is our time to make that difference. Thank you Michael!

Mike,

Thanks for the uplifting information! I have more hope for our country and democracy. I wish those work benefits were available when I worked. It would have been great if I earned a living wage.

A vote for a Republican is surely a traitorous act: a vote for Putin, Xi, Adolf, Mussolini, Franco, pol Pot, Stalin, Napoleon, and on through mankind’s darkest bours. I lived through Workd War 2 in south London, my father took me across Europe in 1946 distatorship brings destruction.

Sunday morning This Week talking heads all talking like it's a done deal that Reps win the House. It was very depressing. I hope there's a Roevember surprise like you keep saying Michael.
