- The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
- Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
- If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
- Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.

16000 in the county this plant is in voted for Harris.
At our last contact negotiation one of the stewards said pretty much the same thing to a guy who would not shut the fuck up about how the company was doing better than it would let on. And that his department was being shuttered out of spite.
This was weeks after Trump was elected, and we all kind of knew tariffs were coming. We had stronger membership than we'd ever had but everyone was extremely nervous about how much steel would even be available to buy. Last time he was elected the company hemorrhaged money on steel because of the Cheeto.
So this guy was a well known trump supporter, and the Steward understandably lost his cool when the guy leveled one accusation after another at him.
He did end up keeping a job, he had to take RIF but he's still employed.
I live in a purple county of a very red state. I get where he's coming from. Most of the union guys vote for pro union candidates. "You voted for this" is something we all kind of think once a day.
