And then he went golfing. True story.

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

And he flew using US government plane. He has spent millions on just plane rides.
Who is wasting tax payer's money.
I hate paid time off. Itβs one of the greatest crimes of modern life. I think Iβll campaign to have my union dismantled and my pay cut in half because the current model is clearly ripping off my employer.
Keep in mind that the guy complaining about PTO hasnβt worked a day in his life.
"Yeah, PTO is gay!" - Guy who works part-time at Dollar General.
FOR REAL THOUGH. Like every person I have ever heard that has complained about PTO, are people who are in positions that either don't accrue it, or accrue it so slowly that it's never usable, or make enough that they don't need to ever worry about being paid vs unpaid when they take holiday.

I actually have coworkers who were complaining about a day off, and saying "everybody's lazy, nobody wants to work anymore". Take the day off, and shut up!
How old are they? I feel like old people have nothing other than their jobs. They never had many hobbies and they never had to raise their kids.

"the workers don't want it"
The fuck we don't
Imagine being this guy and trying to speak for the working class
And having legal adults stop and think, "Hmm, maybe this day off thing IS kinda woke."
Fellas, is it woke to like holidays?

I doubt he cares about holidays at all, but he very much cares about removing a holiday that is specifically relevant to not white people.
I was taking with a family member yesterday and said I'd be shocked if Juneteenth is still a holiday next year.

We have the least mandated PTO in the developed world and a good portion of the underdeveloped world.
Our federal holidays aren't even days off for most people. Lol
My opinion of him can't be lower but man I keep realizing how fucking stupid his supporters are with every one of his asinine comments.

America produces way more than enough to allow everyone to live comfortably and enjoy life. But the fruits of all that extra productivity is being hoarded by a tiny portion of the population while workers are being increasingly stretched and strained to extract as much value from then as possible while paying them as least as possible.
The scarcity of wealth and the need to always work harder and longer hours to barely make it is an illusion maintained to exploit the workers.
One of the country with the least amount of paid vacation in thw world. And that's the hill he decides to climb on. He excels at making himself look increasingly moronic.
The only reason they don't have a lower amount of mandatory paid vacation is because it is impossible to go below 0.

And the fact he posted this on Juneteenth is just coincidence, right?

Remember back in the middle ages, when everyone was sporting an axe and knew where the boss's house was?
They also had more days off back then, more time to sharpen that axe.
More holidays, but when you're a subsistence farmer, those aren't really days off, just days you don't have to work for the rent.

What a piece of shit post. He's using the date to signal solidarity to his racist voters.

Said the guy who spends 1/3 of his time golfing
Come for the racism, stay for the contempt of working people in general.

I think any European politician who said anything remotely close to this would see their careers instantly over. How is it possible that saying something like this doesn't cost them votes in the US?
He said this specifically on Juneteenth so that his hateful voters agree, and those that work for businesses that donβt give a day off on Juneteenth get angry at the people who work for companies or the government that do.

Soon we'll end up having a holiday for every once working day of the year
