Someone please tell me those quotes are true
I don’t remember giving permission for this picture of me
I will need to see concrete evidence that these people were, in fact, members of the terrorist resistance before I believe claims that they were. However, we are currently assuming that all claims of terrorists being present are true for every strike. I would like you to know that I selected these strikes at random.
- This claim states that there were 19 terrorists and 93 total killed at the Al-Tabi’in mosque and school on 08/10/24. Survivors state that most of the casualties were women and children. That means there was a 79.6% civilian casualty rate.
- This claim states that there were 9 confirmed Hamas casualties of 40 killed at a school in the Nuseirat refugee camp on 06/06/24. The casualties were described as children and elderly, and this strike was verified by the source as using US munitions. That means there was a 77.5% civilian casualty rate.
- This source claims that there have been (as of 07/06/24) 343 IDF soldiers killed and 38,000 confirmed Palestinian deaths with Israel claiming 1/3 of deaths are combatants. 66% civilian casualty rate since October 7th.
I will ask again: what is the acceptable child to terrorist death ratio?
Every single Palestinian American has either had their parents/grandparents displaced, or were displaced themselves, by the 75 year occupation since the Nakba. They are intimately connected to the genocide. That’s like saying we shouldn’t do anything about the Holocaust because Jewish Americans aren’t a big voting bloc.
It’s understandable that people are afraid of union busting. Having been there myself, it feels like you’re David going up against Goliath when you start out, and that’s ok! You have to remember that they want you afraid, because if you’re afraid then you can be manipulated by the company. The type of union busting people are most afraid of, namely workplace closure and firing organizers, is rare and illegal. Illegal union busting is also not very successful once challenged with the NLRB, they see through most of the lies.
Companies are good at union busting because every single thing the company will do in opposing your union is going to be framed as being “neutral” while every single sentence is going to be about why unions are “scary”. You have to prepare yourself and your coworkers for the boss’ campaign with inoculation, and that’s where CWA’s union busting playbook will be helpful.
I live in Minnesota so I never had the chance to shut down a captive audience meeting (they’re illegal here), but the best way to shut it down is to get confrontational. Here’s some of my favorite questions for union busters
- Reverend Dr Martin Luther King Jr once said that union organizers are doing the Lord’s work. Are you saying that he’s wrong?
- So what you’re saying is that you, a contracted management consultant, were hired as an outsider to tell us that unions are a 3rd party?
- How much is the company paying you for reading this script to us?
- Wouldn’t the company be better served raising our wages and benefits rather than wasting money to tell us their opinions?
