Jackson Jambalaya

Scum!

It looks like the local UAW and the local NAACP are two in the same.

Lots of $ to Derrick Johnson and Ronnie Crudup, some direct payments and some through cutout companies; $100K to Dr. Isaac Jackson, pastor of Liberty Missionary Baptist Church for speaking on behalf of UAW; plus other civil rights groups. If this is authentic and accurate, it paints a very cynical picture about the civil rights angle to this union organizing effort.

Odd. What the heck does the civil rights movement got to do with union organizing?

both are similar businesses

@6:20 for the most part, they wanted to use race as a reason to get into Nissan. Since most of the workers there are black, they tried to use the "you're being treated unfairly cuz you're black" bullshit.

6:20, unions have nothing to do with civil rights and everything to do with building political power, but Danny Glover sure tried to make that connection. The workforce is smarter than the union gave them credit for, and another positive outcome is that the money they spent trying to organize the Nissan workers can't be spent somewhere else. Sorry UAW - go sell your racist bullshit narrative somewhere else.

If at a civil rights issue, these preachers should be speaking out for free. I think we all see what this really is.

Bernie Sanders, Danny Glover, Stokes, Truly, Chukwe, and the crew hammered on this
being a civil rights issue. Already filed grievances against Nissan for wrongs during
the voting process. Most assuredly will try again to get a union voted in. Might take
couple yrs to reorganize, but are not finished trying.

I'm so glad the UAW and their "low information" minions are butt hurt.

Thanks to all the Nissan workers that voted no.

No different than all these organizations and individuals in other areas - a giagiant shakedown.

Preachers and their black churches - shakedown
NAACP - shakedown
Derrick Johnson and his personal income charity - shakedown (that's two for two with Derrick, counting the NAACP)
Black politicians - shakedown

But - that's all the union amounts to, one big shakedown of the lowly workers, so that those on top can live in luxury.

No reason that the union, these preachers, these organizations, and these politicians shouldn't all be in bed together, they are all in the same business. And it has nothing to do with improving the lives of workers, congragents, constitutents, or members.

46,000 for rental cars in one year?

It was reported on a local news station that he UAW filed numerous suits against Nissan after the votes were tallied.

So....if I'm arrested at 7:00 pm on Friday, why is it I'm not allowed to see a judge until Monday morning,?!!!. Point is how did this judge just happen to be at "work " at 7:00 pm on Friday night?

Can I also ask is this an issue about money and who can afford to o buy a judge?. Does anyone else beside me see anything wrong with this?
Damn glad the vote didn't pass to allow unions....my problem is with the ***damn legal system and why judges and attorneys were working past 5:00 on Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just about every vehicle lobbying for the union outside the plant was from out of state. There were a lot of commenters on the Facebook pages of local news stations for the union were crime people outside of the state. It's a money grab for the union, not for the people working there. Lumba Lite and benny kept some people that work for Nissan thinking they were slaves to Nissan, while not realizing they were voting for the union to be their slave master.

What judge and attorney was ready to file a suit at 7:00 pm on a Friday night? If you get arrested on Friday you have to wait until Monday to see him/her....

The charges filed were not filed with a Judge. Catch up here - this is an issue dealing with National Labor Relations Law. Charges are filed with the NLRB, not with a Judge. The charges that were filed had to do with b/s claims that the UAW is making about improper activities during the organizational campaign. Typical tactic for a union in such cases.

But for a primer for the simpletons that think all charges have to be filed with a Judge and that Judges cannot be found over a weekend. (1) the charges are not filed with a Judge; (2) Judges are available over a weekend even though that has nothing to do with this situation; (3) charges aren't filed with Judges in other situations either, again having nothing to do with this situation. (Think being arrested for DUI - those charges are not filed with a judge at the time of arrest.)

Go back to watching L&O and see if you can get thru your first year of law commentary

that's an insane amount of hotel rooms. And I assume the payments to the Links would be rent for apartments?

unions were a great idea--when people worked for 2 cents a day and started work at 9 years old. we have labor laws now--good for the workers at Nissan who realized that the UAW wanted to turn Canton into Detroit south..

If they don't want equal bargaining power they don't have to have it.

They will learn.

UAW thugs need to be sent back to Detroit and take Bennie, Bernie, Chokwe, Danny Glover and the rest of the butt hurt Hillary supporters with them. Mississippi does NOT need their bull$hit. Playing the race card doesn't work with the decent hard working majority of black people here. Go on back where you came from. You lost! Just like Hillary.

The union and the so called civil rights organizations and too many of these
preachers have the same idea in common: poor people need paid "leaders" to
think for them. Especially when the "poor" come into some money. That is their hustle. Never try thinking for yourself. If we're not thinking and speaking for you, you must be getting mistreated. Throw off your shackles and give us some of that money. Workers Unite!

So . . . since Chokwe ventured up into Madison County to support these ignorant Union backers, I'm assuming the rumors about the new tire plant leaving Hinds County before they even get started are true ?

Junior needs to focus on being Mayor and not on UAW bullshit.

I had the occasion to visit the UAW Offive in Detroit. Not one black face in evidence. They collect not protect.

Continental Tire should cease all construction. They can cut their losses and leave now before it's too late.

The unions like the NAACP were once the hope and salvation of exploited people. Even now there are some instances when working class people need to organize to
protect themselves from unscrupulous business management. But these unions and
organizations like the NAACP have become business organizations in their own right
set on putting out fires where there are none as long as they get their cut. It's
a shame because you never know when a real fire will break out.

If these "activists" are really sincere, they should not be too discouraged. There
are plenty of low paid, dead end employees in Mississippi they can help organize.
Might not be so famous or profitable though.

30 days in. What has Mayor Second Coming accomplished beyond peering into sinkholes for the cameras, preening for the internees in Ladd's reeducation camp, going vegan and wasting time on a UAW matter that does nothing to fix Jackghanistan?

Site work has already begun on Continental Tire. Those rumors are just that:Rumors. Fact is it's being built as we speak.

1:20
Fact is, construction can be stopped, or indefinitely suspended, anytime the owner so chooses. Odds are, they aren't worried about unions. The first thing they have to have is plenty of water. 518 gallons per tire kind of water.

None of us dummies will understand the full scope of the Union defeat until Matt Steffey appears on camera, slicking back his hair, and hemming and hawing on Gallo and WLBT.

What is the source of this financial data? Inquiring minds want to know.

UAW pensions are really in trouble, without growth via invading the non union plants and companies the union pensions are toast. It is sad that Nissan always seems to be a race entered approach, very sad. Glad the Nissan employees continue to vote No!

"If they don't want equal bargaining power they don't have to have it."

What the hell does that even mean? Equal to what? To whom? Are you of the opinion that the voice of employees should EQUAL the voice of the people who own the business? That's exactly the mentality that ruins businesses where unions exist. They actually believe it's a situation of CO-Management. They have no skin in the game but want to run the business.

So looking at this, there apparently is a Union post in Brandon and Pearl. The one in Pearl listed at 183 Chotard Avenue, is in a residential area. Makes you wonder.

Am I missing something? I see no expenditures for 2017.

Poor Kamikaze Franklin has his feelings all hurt about it. He forgets his "white privilege" upbringing and education opportunities.
