Our toe is just now dipping into the water and is cold. We can imagine how aggressively they will come for the wage earners. I'm sure when they do some people right here will agree that we make too much money and are hurting the country!
That old quote about someone coming for them and then eventually when they came for me nobody was left, let's not let that happen. It affects us because this kind of change will reach us soon.
Workers had overtime protections taken away. Many of our members depend on overtime to stay afloat. This decision may not effect ibew directly but it signals intent of the new administration. We already know how trump feels about paying overtime. It's natural to see our own industry being attacked in the near future. Especially if we accept these decisions with out push back.
@@unionminded7918 also I agree there should be push back, but look at what Biden did to the rail workers. It's not political per say, feels like more of a class thing and people need to fight back no matter what the administration is we need to bond on the fact that we're in the same class. I can meet you there. If I said any ignorant shit here know that it wasn't personal and I don't care about politics per se
We have been in a class war. Both parties bought off since the 90's. Business has slowly purchased our government to the point it no longer responds to the needs of the people. Trust me, we see things very similarly. There is no party for the working class, there's a party that signals to unions but governs for owners. That's the reality.
That pertains to salaried employess not hourly. If youre not salary why go on about it? Plus thats the deal when you sign up for a salaried position. Everyone knows this.
I bring it up because it was a pro worker rule put in place that took effect this year and now it's gone. Of course people know about salaried positions. Our strength comes from solidarity with the working class not our apathy towards them. We all work for a living.
Alright gun advocates you say you need to protect yourselves from enemies foreign and domestic. There it is... Or do you need them to literally come into your home and pull the spoon from your childs mouth? Do something people! I say a one week general workers strike. Everyone everywhere strikes for a week. Remind the people in power where their power comes from.
@@thatoneguy1477 I agree but in order to achieve that we need to organize the working class. This needs be be a grass roots movement before it can be nationally achieved. A lot of working class people don't have class consciousness.
@@S4LtySn4tch He's basically saying it doesn't affect IBEW or regular workers at all, it affects salaried workers so it has nothing to do with the working class whatsoever
It does indeed effect lower compensated salaried workers. Not the ibew. However an injury to one is an injury to all and how long before the policies begin to impact our own households? All good for differences of opinion but we are looking at objective reality and decisions being made tgat have real consequences and our only rebuttal is "sucks for you, I'm not a salaried employee" we would do better showing solidarity so that when they do come for us we have allies in the struggle.
Ask and you shall get. Wait until trump guts the flsa. Raise the ot threshold to 14 days and 30 days for sworn staff.

Salary never got ot around here, why it's salary
How is this going to affect IBEW workers if it's for lower wage managerial/ administrative work?

Exactly!

It will start with salaried employees. Next, it will get to people who get paid hourly. I guess you won't care until it happens to you.
No but it could be better and that’s what the union fights for. The workers are losing rights and that’s what this is about

100 percent!
It's too bad you're not capable of understanding what you read 😂.
Explain it then instead of being pedantic
