NEW YORK – The United Auto Workers Union has filed federal labor charges against Donald Trump and Elon Musk for their alleged illegal attempts to threaten and intimidate workers who stand up for themselves by engaging in protected concerted activity, such as strikes.
After significant technical delays on X, formerly known as Twitter, Trump and Musk had a rambling, disorganized conversation on Monday evening in front of over one million listeners in which they advocated for the illegal firing of striking workers.
“I mean, I look at what you do,” Trump told Musk. “You walk in, you say, You want to quit? They go on strike, I won’t mention the name of the company, but they go on strike and you say, That’s OK, you’re all gone. You’re all gone. So, every one of you is gone.”
Under federal law, workers cannot be fired for going on strike, and threatening to do so is illegal under the National Labor Relations Act.
“When we say Donald Trump (pictured at top, attempting to sell Bibles) is a scab, this is what we mean. When we say Trump stands against everything our union stands for, this is what we mean,” said UAW President Shawn Fain. “Donald Trump will always side against workers standing up for themselves, and he will always side with billionaires like Elon Musk, who is contributing $45 million a month to a Super PAC to get him elected. Both Trump and Musk want working class people to sit down and shut up, and they laugh about it openly. It’s disgusting, illegal, and totally predictable from these two clowns.”

The people who are stupid the protest against Trump are protesting against my right to vote as I please. The better tread carefully.
Your meds aren’t working. Re-read what you wrote.
Nobody’s protesting your right to vote, but Drumpf and the knuckle-dragging MAGAmorons sure as hell trying to keep other people from voting at all.
