“Union workers at Shell's petrochemical plant in Beaver County, Pennsylvania, were required to attend President Donald Trump's speech at the facility on Tuesday, lest they not be paid, according to a report from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.” https://www.newsweek.com/shell-pennsylvania-trump-union-ethylene-1454858
Where are all the Trump supporters? This thread is remarkably quiet.
It’s Saturday, so they’re not being paid to support Trump today.
Not true, chik fil a is only closed on Sunday.
This has nothing to do with Trump, but with the corrupt union.
The company told them they had to attend in order to get paid for work, not the union.
Truth bomb
So there aren’t any orange meatball supporters anymore?
They only reply if they have a go to fox news talking point lined up
Idk man as long as it's not the state mandating it. Fuck unions; if you can't stand on your own two feet, don't expect to be treated as a respectable individual.
Yeah, your bosses stand on their two feet... on top of teams of lawyers, hr personnel and a whole organization. Now, why not go win a football game - just yourself... without other players on your team doing all that commie stuff like organizing and having strategy.
Except that working at a company isn't the same as playing a football game. You aren't competing against the company. That just ain't right.
I like to think I would protest or heckle, but I chose “just not go to work,” because the reality is I’m a wage slave just like those guys. I could probably afford to lose a day’s pay, but not my job. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wage_slavery https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fd6u2iH96uU
Sounds reasonable. I didn’t hear about any protests, so seems like most people did the same. Seems like the type of thing a whole lot of people would need to agree to do in order for it to work. Would have been cool if they organized something like that - but probably not enough time to prep and pull it together.
Yeah, I imagine this was sprung on them with maybe a couple days notice.
😂 next level worship
Was probably a long day for those workers. There was already a massive, overflowing, crowd and traffic jams up to 10 miles from the event.

Maggity magga
They got paid over time. It’s a win win
