I guess I have to bring up Striketober. Why me?

Welcome to Striketober

Union members are feeling bold. The John Deere strike, for example, occurs within a larger context; UAW members are getting ready to vote in a referendum to allow the direct election of union officers by individual members, rather than by delegates. Supporters say this would democratize the union, which has been plagued by recent high-profile corruption cases.

Then there’s the labor shortage, proof that even nonunion workers are unwilling to settle for jobs that don’t pay well or otherwise justify the demands of employment. Quit rates are rising, most notably in the restaurant and hospitality industries, where workers may be at high risk of contracting COVID from the public. Consider that alongside the emergent strike wave and the resulting picture is one that should put American employers on notice.

Iowa Democrats back Deere workers, Republicans mostly silent

The only prominent Iowa Republican to make any public comments about the strike on Thursday was Senator Chuck Grassley, and that wasn’t intentional. The senator didn’t release any statement about what was happening at Deere and told reporters late in the afternoon he “didn’t even know they were on strike, except you told me.” (The strike was a top news story throughout the day and a hot topic on social media.)

Grassley said, “Well, obviously, they’re exercising their right to do that, of collective bargaining,” adding that he didn’t know the issues at stake but “that’s a decision those workers made, and, under the laws, we have to respect it.”

I'll check back in the morning. I've been bustin' my ass all God dammed day.

Can’t believe people are asking for higher wages and better benefits. Republicans support that, right?
