CaliforniaSpectre [he/him, comrade/them]@hexbear.netto chapotraphouse@hexbear.net•Republicans win House.English11·9 months agoDidn’t the Republicans get a trifects in 2016 though? I seem to be Mandela effected or something, because I’m pretty sure they did, then dems won 2018 and got their owm “trifecta” im 2020 (unless you’re counting SCOTUS). It’s still really bad but it seems like it’s being talked about as a totally new circumstance.

CaliforniaSpectre [he/him, comrade/them]@hexbear.netto chapotraphouse@hexbear.net•The DNC has struck gold: Tim Walz is the perfect instrument of DEradicalizationEnglish1·1 year agoSomewhat misleading as there is an overall increase in private union jobs just not out competing job growth (is that counting gig jobs?):
The number of unionized workers in the private >sector increased by 191,000 to 7.4 million last >year. That includes workers at auto companies, >Las Vegas hotels and Hollywood studios, all of >whom went through high-profile contract >negotiations in 2023.
But the percent of unionized workers in the >private sector – 6% – remained unchanged from >the previous year, as unionization rates didn’t >keep pace with overall hiring.
I would agree with others in the thread that you went rather doomer not based on a whole lot. The left’s position is already worth being doomer about, but Walz doesn’t really worsen it beyond the work we already have in front of us.

I thought the last few years had been the highest for labor action in decades. Maybe all the gig jobs are just doing too much damage.
