    List of sources quoted in this list of "push back:

    So if you were hoping for actual consequences from his base or even just someone new and noteworthy criticizing him, this is not the article for you. I’m glad the Trade Unions are going to spread the word though, that will be a good thing.

    Here’s what I don’t get.

    He’s incredibly consistent, not paying contractors, or employees. Or paying fractions of what the contract actually stipulated.

    I don’t get why any contractor would work for him. any contractor that works with trump is going to get fucked over. its how he operates.

      Plus more scattered throughout. Here’s just some of the obvious quotes about it

      DOL should clarify that a home office is not subject to OSHA regulations and that time to set up a home office is not compensable time or eligible for overtime calculations

      They want to remove overtime pay for work from home

      Congress should amend the NLRA to authorize collective bargaining to treat national employment laws and regulations as negotiable defaults. For example, this reform would allow a union to bless a relaxed overtime trigger (e.g., 45 hours a week, or 80 hours over two weeks)

      Allowing labor laws to be negotiable is going to be used by companies to given worse labor contracts to unions and is a blatant attempt to weaken their power

      Here’s a decent article that includes some of the more conniving ways Project 2025 wants to gut overtime

        You’d think Unions would just reject that bullshit, but then Teamsters is … probably fully on board.

    He didn’t have to admit it. Anyone that’s been paying attention to him for the last 30 some years knows that he’s a con man that doesn’t pay his bills.

      Unfortunately it seems that the people who rally for him didn’t research him and alway think anything bad said about him is made up. This may actually help show them he really doesn’t like the working class.

        I’ve been following this POS since late 80s, Grifters are going to grift and con men are going to con.

        He doesn’t need to show them. He’s already said, “I don’t care about you. I just want your vote.”

        Either they think it’s made up, or they just convince themselves that the face-eating leopard ”surely wouldn’t eat my face.”

      You mean the guy who didn’t endorse anyone? I think it was clear that the higher ups would’ve liked to endorse Harris, but too many of the rank and file members support trump. I don’t think this’d move the needle much.

      The Teamsters Guy did not endorse Trump, he used the platform to directly address the working class. If you listen to a speech he called people like Trump and the entire party out for who they are, called the entire duopoly out for who they are,

    I fucking hate defending this piece of shit, but what he’s saying isn’t “they worked overtime and I refused to pay them.”

    He said: “I hated to give overtime. I hated it. I shouldn’t say this, but I’d get other people in. I wouldn’t pay.”

    So he’s doing the scumbag, but legal, thing of “you’re about to hit overtime so don’t come in/continue working. Someone else will finish/cover your shift.” Because as we all know he’s a cheap piece of shit.

    “The media” aren’t doing themselves any favors by misleading people with the way the wrote this. It just adds to the Magoos hatred and belief that they’re being lied to by everyone other than Trump and Faux News… Fucking morons everywhere… Magoos and media assholes alike. Gotta get them clicks though, who cares about the impact…

      I don’t think people are upset because he broke the law, that’s a separate ref flag, they’re upset because he did whatever he could to reduce wages for ordinary Americans and boost profits for himself. It’s shitty and he’s saying it out loud.

        I guess I’m desensitized to that because literally every retail job does the same thing. It’s definitely shitty though, but it’s “normal” in our shit society.

      I liked how the same author left us hanging and wrote a second seperate article for the quote about The Purge from the same rally, and made us click the link for it rather than just give the information.
