United Auto Workers Union Files Federal Labour Charges Against Trump, Elon Musk For Anti-Workers’ Comments



UAW noted that after significant technical delays on X, formerly known as Twitter, Trump and Musk had a “rambling, disorganised conversation on Monday evening in front of over one million listeners in which they advocated for the illegal firing of striking workers”.

The United Auto Workers (UAW) union has taken legal action against former President Donald Trump and billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk, filing federal labour charges with the National Labour Relations Board (NLRB).

The charges allege that both Trump and Musk violated labor laws by publicly endorsing the termination of employees who consider going on strike, effectively intimidating workers and suppressing their right to collective action.

According to a statement on its website, the move was instigated after “illegal attempts by Trump and Elon to threaten and intimidate workers who stand up for themselves by engaging in protected concerted activity, such as strikes”.

UAW noted that after significant technical delays on X, formerly known as Twitter, Trump and Musk had a “rambling, disorganised conversation on Monday evening in front of over one million listeners in which they advocated for the illegal firing of striking workers”.

“I mean, I look at what you do,” Trump told Musk.

“You walk in, you say, you want to quit? They go on strike, I won’t mention the name of the company, but they go on strike and you say, That’s OK, you’re all gone. You’re all gone. So, every one of you is gone.” Trump was further quoted as saying.

UAW noted that under federal law, workers cannot be fired for going on strike, and threatening to do so is illegal under the National Labour Relations Act.

“When we say Donald Trump is a scab, this is what we mean. When we say Trump stands against everything our union stands for, this is what we mean,” said UAW President Shawn Fain.

“Donald Trump will always side against workers standing up for themselves, and he will always side with billionaires like Elon Musk, who is contributing $45 million a month to a Super PAC to get him elected.

“Both Trump and Musk want working class people to sit down and shut up, and they laugh about it openly. It’s disgusting, illegal, and totally predictable from these two clowns,” the statement concluded.

In the aftermath of Elon Musk's X spaces hosting Donald Trump as a guest, a firestorm of controversy has erupted, sparking intense reactions from all corners. The highly publicised event has continued to generate widespread debate, backlash, and discussion, with opinions sharply divided across the board.

It's all hatred for the man who wants to change the world. This same union did nothing when people were fired during COVID 19 scam and plandermic. Thousands lost the job for refusing to take the killer vaccines that media are refusing to discuss the bad policies or guidelines for COVID-19. Before the interview all you hear was a supposed misinformation over the deep state media. Interview has not started but they were speaking about a false misinformation. Elon Musk should celebrate the billions that participated, it was a success and media dont want to talk about that. Focusing on non existing things.

One thing I love about Trump is that what he says he will do is exactly what he does.
Love him or hate him, he puts his country first and he believes that illegal migrants are a danger to his country.

But lets think about it, aren't illegal immigrants a problem in every country? Take a look at the Fulani herdsmen from Mali, Niger and other parts of the sahel coming to Nigeria, kidnapping our people and killing mercilessly. If we had good border restrictions like USA is trying to do for it self, would it come to that?

Including Teamsters whose President spoke at the RNC?

grin

Anybody against their RAPIST messiah is a bought agent.

To show the calibre of people supporting Trump, one IDIOOOT up there in the comments is talking about Elon Musk being Trump's Vice President without realising that being a South African-born individual means Musk is NOT even qualified.

Trump supporters EVERYWHERE in the world are the stupid, the creep, the closeted pedophiles, the closeted rapists and the weirdos.

Major problem is that these people are PLENTIFUL in every society.

A foreign-born individual can NEVER be the President of the US. The VP is directly in line for that role.

The VP may also be called upon to serve as Acting President in case of emergency.

Musk is NOT qualified.

When people make a blanket statement about Trump's supporters like this or anyone for that matter, I laugh at their total lack of self awareness. Because it takes some unreasonable level or hate and crass ignorance to harbour such views.
