This Saturday (June 2nd, 2018), we had the pleasure of meeting with a Teamster rally where we met protester extraordinaire, Daniel Aneseko Uaina; and we were not just charmed - we were inspired.
Daniel told us of his fellow truck drivers went to Senator Bernie Sanders, and informed the Senator about the extremes Union busting oligarchs are utilizing.
Dirty Deads Done to Be Cheap
Truckers are compelled to lease from specific companies who gouge the drivers so nefariously, there are multiple 18 hour days where they wind up with less than minimum wage; and several instances of working weeks for zero pay, due to fee gouging for things the employers should pay..
On top of all that, warehouse workers are forced to go through "Temp" agencies, to make sure no worker is a full time employee.
Activist Uaina (pick below, right) has a smile that would warm the hardest of hearts; and it vexed mine to learn such a wonderful spirit would be denied family time, of sharing love - because of greedy rich, fiends.

Social Internet News Network was there, along with various media outlets and a documentary film maker, to record Daniel introduce the President of the Union, a Congresswoman and multiple truckers and wareh.
Mr. Uaina also introduced warehouse workers who told tales of Union busting woes that should have been Dark Ages slave labor stories - instead of revelations of modern day.

These schemes & artifice to defraud regular citizens their right to a decent days pay, for a regular 8 hour days work - is as Machiavellian as it gets.
All of which is made far, far, worse, during this Trump era.
(Or should we say error)?
Drivers are mischaracterized as "independent contractors" but they controlling nothing about their destiny.
It was a great pleasure to see Senator Sanders, again; and just as much a joy to meet Teamster Activist Daniel Aneseko Uaina (a hero in my book, for risking it all, standing big smile & tall, against rich lords seeking to enslave us all).
As Teamster/ Activist Daniel Areseko Uaina pointed out, we all can be hero's by fighting the injustice of Union busting; because unity is the 🔑!
.......No Justice - No Peace!
