How do we bridge the gap between blue-collar and white-collar workers, building a diverse coalition within the labor movement? #Unions can unite different occupations, overcoming tensions to represent the #WorkingClass. #HoosLeft #Labor #BlueCollar #WhiteCollar #Solidarity

“Mercedes-Benz has announced tests of advanced #HumanLike #robots – powered by artificial intelligence – as it ‘digitises’ the way it builds cars.

Robots powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI) from #Apptronik – a Texas, United States-based automation and robotics company having developed robots for NASA (North American Space Agency) – have been installed for #testing at the car maker’s innovation hub in Berlin-Marienfeld, #Germany.”

Mike Rowe, of "Dirty Jobs" fame, uses a dubiously earned 'credibility' as a '#bluecollar guy', to smuggle anti-#worker, anti-#labor, anti-#union, and Libertarian-tinged conservative ideas into work which ostensibly glorifies those same groups of people.

Join us as we talk about how/why he has chosen this path.

TL;DR - Mike Rowe is making BIG BANK by spreading billionaire and industry lies about the people he supposedly speaks for. #unions #solidarity #unionstrong

Should have a new episode out in the next 24 hrs discussing how Mike Rowe smuggles right-wing, anti-labor, anti-worker ideology beneath a blue collar costume that many people have a hard time seeing through. #mikerowe #dirtyjobs #bluecollar #labor #laborradiopod #union #unions #solidarity #marx

“The reasons why the only #bluecollar American #workers able to maintain wage increases commensurate with #productivity increases following 1975 were the longshore workers were those of exceptional #union power”

Why the Longshore Workers' Strike Is Economically Justified
And why, politically, it could be a disaster.

#Politics #VPOTUS

This morning, the #TalkingHeads started saying that #Harris only chose #Walz over #Shapiro because it was the "safe" choice.

Now, they're saying that it was the "smart" choice.

IMO, it was always the SMARTER choice.

Shaprio isn't going anywhere & he'll be in #PA as governor to support the #HarrisWalz ticket. So, Harris didn't need Shapiro to win in #PA.

However, Walz can help Harris with the #disaffected #white #male #bluecollar & #rural voters who are unhappy with #Drumpf (but didn't see another choice until now) not only in PA but also in the #Midwest (where he's from) & across the country in red & purple districts & states which could also benefit the Dems in Congressional & Senate races, not just the race for #POTUS .

Note that, Walz was a #Dem who represented a rural #GOP
#Congressional district for over a decade.

Shaprio would have ONLY helped Harris in PA & he would have alienated the type of voters Walz is more likely to attract.

So, Walz was definitely the SMARTER choice!
