Bam! Another setback for all those American workers who voted for Trump!

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court says employers can prohibit their workers from banding together to complain about pay and conditions in the workplace.

The justices ruled 5-4 Monday, with the court’s conservative members in the majority, that businesses can force employees to individually use arbitration to resolve disputes. The outcome is an important victory for business interests.

An estimated 25 million employees work under contracts that prohibit collective action by employees who want to raise claims about some aspect of their employment.

The Trump administration backed the businesses, reversing the position the Obama administration took in favor of employees.

MAGA. Fuck the workers.

I have a hard time feeling sorry for anyone who supported him.

This is the best part.

Many Harley-Davidson workers wondered if the tax cut would trickle down to help employees. But a recent CNBC survey found that only 10 companies in the S&P 100 say they have specific plans to use the savings to boost worker pay.

Rise Against got it right when they released this anti-Trump song last summer.

It’s a game, you’ve been played
It’s a flock, you’re the sheep
It’s a pied-piper song that has lulled you to sleep
It’s a lie and you fell for it - hook, line, and sinker
A hand that you shook that then gave you the finger
A fraud and a fake, a cowardly king
A lie to your face, but you still kiss the ring
This is the breakdown, this is the breakdown
This is the breakdown!
Standing here holding our ground, come what may
Like a TempeTantrum haunts from beyond the grave

After the new tax law went into effect Harley Davidson buys back $696M of stock with their new found cash and follows it up by closing a plant and shedding hundreds of jobs in the process.

I heard interviews with two long time employees with 17 and 18 years at Harley who can't transfer to York PA and will be losing their jobs. But they are still Trump supporters and will vote for him again.

Goes back to what Lutheran Minister and anti-Nazi activist Dietrich Bonhoeffer
wrote about Hitler's supporters,

"The fact that the stupid person is often stubborn must not blind us to the fact that he is not independent. In conversation with him, one virtually feels that one is dealing not at all with him as a person, but with slogans, catchwords, and the like that have taken possession of him. He is under a spell, blinded, misused, and abused in his very being."

Unbelievable. Cash buybacks of stocks they lose a job and actually blame themselves. Now I can see if they were performing poorly at work but they were not. It's like spouse abuse.
