Portion of union dues donated to Kamala campaign
Permalink   


How do all of you union members feel about the portion of your union dues that is being donated to the Democratic party in general and in specific to the Kamala campaign? She is already the most stupid and incompetent Vice President in history. Imagine the damage to our country that she could do as President. If I were a member, I would consider opting out of the union at this time, as no amount of union dues should ever be donated to ANY political party!

That is not completely true.

You will notice a deduction of Union dues and Active ballot on your paystub.

Union dues go into the union coffers to cover costs of running a union.  It is state law that we pay union dues in my state.  I suppose it is possible for money to be taken from the union coffers to make political contributions under a special covert expense account.  Active ballot is specifically for political ambitions/contributions of the union.  We can opt out of active ballot contributions.  But, we have to write a letter and mail it to the union office.  My letter was sent 8 months ago.  They are still withdrawing the 50 cents a week.  Obviously, they are in no hurry to stop taking Active ballot fees and will make it as difficult as possible to stop the deduction.  A little over a year ago, the union rep visited every employee in our division.  We all had to sign paper work for the union because of the new mandatory union membership law that was passed. I specifically signed a document to opt out of the active ballot then too.  They failed to follow the terms of that document.   I do not support the union political ambitions.  I don't trust the union to look out for my best interests for everything.

 Threaten to sue. Have an attorney draft a letter.

It is a fact that unions make massive political contributions. Ask your union rep to show you a breakdown of the percentage of your dues that is used for political contributions and to what party or candidates they are donated (read 100% Democrat,) but you will not get a straight answer, as they are not required by law to do so! Maybe a few union members would like their money to go to the Greens, Libertarians, et cetera but no other choice is offered. Sadly, this corruption has existed for a long time. The Kamala campaign is a pathetic way to waste your money!

MKTCA -- Make Kroger's Toilets Clogged Again!  And since this is the Union doing this, for the first time I hope management does NOT clean them afterwards!

 

F the hourly workers!

I did not think they could do that. I stay up to date with all their policies and they are not allowed to do that.

Keep in mind Trump can not win. He will turn this country into a dictatorship and that is not why our founders made this system. They wanted to break away from the crown and dictatorships. He has also quoted many times about not peacefully transferring power and will whine like a little cry baby if he looses the election like he did last time. He'll just defer everything to lawsuits and hope they get lost in the system or people give up. My vote will go to not trump.

 Have you read everything Tim Walz has done to Minnesota?  Talk about being a dictator.  Besides, you don't want to vote for someone who lies about their military service.  The Left is the party of abortion (killing babies), D.E.I. (you only got the job because you checked off a box), illegal immigration, (trying to change the makeup of the voting population), and trans rights (what they're doing to these kids is just plain evil).  Now do you really want to vote for a party that supports all that?

 You have no clue what a dictator is.

 Voting is fixed. I dont even bother voting. The best thing for the world is for it to end.

When deportations begin in January of 2025, you'll have better bargaining power to make more money per hour, flexible hours, etc.  Fewer people will be available to keep the Kroger engine running.

Use that leverage.

Can you picture the folks from Mexico and South America opening up their borders for us if the shoe were on the other foot?  In other words, if the standard of living were great outside of the United States would these other countries welcome us walking across their backyard, and grabbing their resources, etc.?  Neither can I.

Vote Trump and get your overdue justice

Biden has been able to return some of the union money to his cronies via "stimulus" plans that largely benefit union construction workers. If Kamala is elected, how will she deliver "payback" to the average Kroger worker? There is no way that will happen, so you are wasting your dues funding her campaign.

Supply and demand curves.  Having a influx of immigrant workers decreases demand for laborers in the short-run for plug-and-play jobs.

When supply is revoked -- that is deportations -- businesses have to compete for a shirking and immediate lowered supply of laborers. 

It's to Kroger management's favor to have immigration and labor dumping to take place because that puts power in Kroger's hands and wage rates down.

Kamala and Kroger management have the same objective of power grabbing which runs counter to capitalism.

How many of these ladies have an education in economics?  How many of these ladies will get their daily bread regardless of how bad the country fails in economics unlike the rest of us that work at Kroger?

Is shes the next president she needs to put this into law.

 

Rules for black customers

 

1, Don't come in my store with an EBT card and buy $40 boxes of crab legs. This should not be allowed!

2. Stop asking for everything (even one item!) to be double-bagged.

3. Stop asking the bagger to tie your bags-that is YOUR job!

4. Don't come in my store reeking of marijuana!!!!!

5. Do SOMETHING about your d*** hair (braids.)

6. Stop having kids you can't pay for and the cashier has to take 30 min to ring up your WIC vouchers!!!

 

make Kroger great again

If black people would refrain from leading the league in premarital sex (their cultural norm) the issue of racism would diminish.  The last fight will be evil vs. the family.  The  most confusing day for black people is father's day (who's your daddy) and that's tragic.

Get that under control (their main cultural problem which is spreading into other non-black cultures) and you won't have conflict shopping at Kroger

When is the last time you saw a Republican supporting a union or a union supporting Republicans? If the unions get no Republican support, why would they in turn support Republican candidates? Think about that for a minuteYou can dislike Kamala all you want, but you know damn well what side the unions are on!

Keep this in mind

When Unions are strong, America is strong. - Kamala Harris

 The union leaders may be Liberal Democrats, but the workers are not.  Also, which of Kamala's policies do you agree on?  Can't think of any?  That's because she doesn't have any.  People who say they're voting for Kamala Harris say it's because she's a woman of color and she's not Donald Trump.  That's a dumb reason for deciding who should be President of the United States.  Of course if you like candidates who get excited over yellow school buses and Venn diagrams, then Kamala is the candidate for you.

Well, for one, there is NO DOUBT at the moment she is winning! She represents a sorely missing optimism in the country! Does she need to share more policy details? Sure she does and thats what the upcoming debates are for! And remember, there are many more days before the election happens!  I think people want history to be made, too, and that glass ceiling to be broken, finally, once and for all! And by the way, dont you think its just as dumb to vote for a convicted felon who never thinks before he speaks, talks down to people, has a bad nickname for virtually everyone (He might as well call you guys low energy voters), and has no plans other than to call Kamala names and repeat lies about her ACTUAL record ad hominem? Does he represent an optimism, like the Reagan he reveres, that ALL people could inspire to? He continues to rehash the past, and you know what? The people are NOT going back! If theres one thing for sure in this election, it is THAT! So, he better get off his effin keester and talk about those kitchen table issues that everyone is so damn concerned about! Also, dont take credit for problems he did NOT fix! He will make America great again, but he never made it great the FIRST time! Now, he wants to make America great again AGAIN and if he loses, he will be talking about making America great again a third time, which by then, hell be too damn old to BE President! Its time his lemming supporters start questioning him for what hes NOT doing, rather than hanging on his every word, like a sad-eyed hound dog waiting for a biscuit! No, Donald Trump is NOT gonna take you for a walk! But, he WILL take you for suckers and hell take you for granted! He will also take you for a ride, one which you have never seen in this country! And one in which youll sorely regret ever jumping into the car with him once he steers this nation into a tree!

All one has to do is look what's happened to California and Minnesota to know what will happen if Kamala Harris and Tim Walz get elected.

 Kamala wants to cap drug prices, address price gouging among other things. What is Trump going to do? Oh yeah, just have the "free market" give us everything we need. Because that's worked great so far

 Do you know what they do when you try to tell manufacturers how much to charge?  I'll tell you what they do.  They start producing less to lower their costs.  That leads to shortages which leads to inflation: the very thing you were trying to prevent.  Also, the free market system works very well.  Check out this Phil Donahue segment with Milton Friedman.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BI7VpU3Ccw The problems we have today are due to the Biden/Harris administration.

Believe it or not, there are examples of price controls working well. The minimum wage, for example, is a price control. There's no logical reason why they can't work if implemented correctly. Look up "producer surplus".

 Minimum wage actually decreases overall earnings. Go away commie.

Trump should have asked her in the debate how come her people always give Kroger employees a hard time at the checkout.

Kamala probably would have said Indians don't do that.
