SCOTUS, and the Need for Unions

The recent SCOTUS decision on birth-control is, for me, disappointing.

It's so maddeningly typical of rightwing ideology: capitalists have the final say-so over the lives of their workers.

In fact, so important are the rights of capitalists to the rightwing mentality, capitalists can reject federal law (sort of like State's Righters) and deny their employees (read women) access to healthcare (read birth-control).

What's next?

I pray for unions!

I pray that God will give to the employees the wherewithal to join together in unions, and it's the unions that will have to fight for workers' rights.

No wonder capitalists have been working overtime to destroy unions.

Unions are vital, and it's never been easy to form a union, to join a union, to unionize a shop. Capitalists have deployed every device, and then some, to kill unions, to deny workers their rights, to make it impossible for workers to have a say-so over their employment, its conditions, wages, and benefits.

As long as the USA continues it's rightwing approach to workers' rights, supporting capitalists in their greed and alleged "religious convictions" (read bullshit), we will need strong, strong, unions.

To fight for the workers, those who create the wealth of the nation; who create the wealth with their labor, their sweat, blood and tears. Blue collar, white collar - millions of Americans who labor long and hard, to make life good, for their families, for all of us. Creating wealth that the capitalists are more than happy to take unto themselves, dressing themselves up in their filthy rags of piety and prayers.

Perhaps SCOTUS has done us a favor, in a backhanded sort of way.

I wish SCOTUS would've decided otherwise.

But if not, I hope unions will rise to the occasion and the American Worker will rise up, too, to claim her rights, challenge the capitalists, and organize, organize, organize, to fight the capitalists and take what rightfully belongs to the Workers.
