Vergas
After a resounding “YES” vote to
unionize with the Culinary Workers Union, Local 226, Trump’s Hotel Las Vegas
refused to recognize and bargain with the union as required by federal law.
Now, boss Trump has filed objections to the outcome of a free and fair union
representation election won by the workers who want a union and have been
accused by the federal government of violating labor laws. And, recently
The National Labor Relations Board issued another federal complaint against
Trump alleging that his company unlawfully told one employee, “YOUR FIRED”
and discriminated against another based on their union support. Federal
officials maintain that Trump's hotel company engaged in the numerous
unlawful practices such as: issuing rules prohibiting workers from
communicating with one another and the public; engaging in surveillance, interrogations and intimidating employees; and suspending and threatening
to fire union supporters.
"If Donald Trump wants to 'Make America Great
Again,' said Maria Jaramillo a housekeeper at the Trump Las Vegas ‘he should
by negotiating a fair deal with us.”

In 1948 Ronald Reagan, then the President of the
Screen Actors
Guild, starred in a Radio program sponsored by the
International
Ladies Garment Workers Union promoting the candidacy of Harry
Truman in the Presidential elections of that year. You will hear
Ronald
Reagan the then unabashed liberal blasting the Republican
Tom Dewey and the
Republic Congress for its anti-worker policies
including the Taft-Hartley
Act and for promoting policies which
decrease the real income of workers
while promoting huge profits
by the greedy corporations. With commentary by
Eric Foner placing this watershed election in historical context for today.
