We Must Do More To Counter The Assault By The Trump Regime
Philadelphia garbage men went on strike yesterday.
I learned of the strike while walking my dog after dinner last evening, where I ran into a CBS News camera crew (see above screen shot).
My interview was edited, but I praised the garbage men, supported their demands for a pay raise, and said I hoped it wouldn’t last very long (unfortunately I was not aware of the issues so just offered generic support).
Curious how the news is assembled.
CBS ran two stories. The first story was this one, which focused on problems and had only me supporting the strikers:
The second story was exactly the same, but under a different headline that supported the strikers and included another resident supporting the strikers:
With the Trump regime’s across the board assault on working and poor people and unions, we need to do a lot more to support working people.
The Mayor should meet the Union’s demands.
