"cops swarmed and arrested an Amazon driver who stopped his van in support of the strike. Then they forcibly broke the picket line. In anticipation of a possible strike at JFK8, police had camped out by the facility in advance." (per labornotes.org)

(10,127 posts)that they didn't bring a bunch of the worst of the border patrol agents up, suit them up in full battle gear (which showed no identifying markings) and turn them loose on the union protestors, just like Trump did in Portland??????
I don't feel that the public recognizes just how many Trumphumpers have infiltrated police departments across the nation, as well as the National Guard members, Secret Service, DOJ, even the military......

is in their crosshairs.
Men and women were beaten and jailed and died for labor rights, just as they were for civil rights and womens rights and every other right. And for those who dont know, all along the way the police and privately paid security did the bidding of the rich and powerful.
Those gigantic warehouses are nothing more than 21st Century sweatshops.
Mother Jones and Joe Hill please reincarnate for this time.
