Let's run through some of the things Trump has done *to date* to harm the American worker, shall we?

@LaxBeav @oknoplzstop @Bdwal359 @LinLee76822176 @refinedmess @NW_StayDet @TigerfangLacey @218Lov @davin_mc @dowdyjackson @nocturnalsuns1 @CJTS7006 @EaleyGregory @KerwinWilliams1 @PunishmentHurts He has:
1) Denied guaranteed O/T pay to 12.5m workers, essentially transferring $1.2 billion from their paychecks into their bosses’ bank accounts.

*life threatening defects being a medically sound reason to terminate a pregnancy, note.

@LaxBeav @oknoplzstop @Bdwal359 @LinLee76822176 @refinedmess @NW_StayDet @TigerfangLacey @218Lov @davin_mc @dowdyjackson @nocturnalsuns1 @CJTS7006 @EaleyGregory @KerwinWilliams1 @PunishmentHurts 5) Tried to throw millions of low-income workers off Medicaid - and when that attempt failed, deliberately caused a spike in health insurance premiums.

@LaxBeav @oknoplzstop @Bdwal359 @LinLee76822176 @refinedmess @NW_StayDet @TigerfangLacey @218Lov @davin_mc @dowdyjackson @nocturnalsuns1 @CJTS7006 @EaleyGregory @KerwinWilliams1 @PunishmentHurts 6) Appointed one SCJ and nominated another that have continually ruled in favor of the employers, rather than the employees they've wronged and/or harmed (and in the case of Sea World, caused the death of).

@LaxBeav @oknoplzstop @Bdwal359 @LinLee76822176 @refinedmess @NW_StayDet @TigerfangLacey @218Lov @davin_mc @dowdyjackson @nocturnalsuns1 @CJTS7006 @EaleyGregory @KerwinWilliams1 @PunishmentHurts 7) Repealed the rule requiring Retirement Advisors to prioritize their clients’ financial interests over their own - ergo, giving said advisors approval to secretly gamble with their clients' (ie, ageing workers') nest eggs.

@LaxBeav @oknoplzstop @Bdwal359 @LinLee76822176 @refinedmess @NW_StayDet @TigerfangLacey @218Lov @davin_mc @dowdyjackson @nocturnalsuns1 @CJTS7006 @EaleyGregory @KerwinWilliams1 @PunishmentHurts 8) Repealed the rule requiring mining companies to inspect their mines for safety hazards before workers begin their shifts.

(Y'know, those same workers Trump wanted to bump off Medicaid.)

@LaxBeav @oknoplzstop @Bdwal359 @LinLee76822176 @refinedmess @NW_StayDet @TigerfangLacey @218Lov @davin_mc @dowdyjackson @nocturnalsuns1 @CJTS7006 @EaleyGregory @KerwinWilliams1 @PunishmentHurts 9) Proposed allowing pork processing plants to run their lines at a speed greater than 1100 hogs/hr, - an increase almost guaranteed to result in worker injuries.

(Again: Low-income workers, Medicaid, Trump being a spiteful twat, yada yada...)

@LaxBeav @oknoplzstop @Bdwal359 @LinLee76822176 @refinedmess @NW_StayDet @TigerfangLacey @218Lov @davin_mc @dowdyjackson @nocturnalsuns1 @CJTS7006 @EaleyGregory @KerwinWilliams1 @PunishmentHurts 10) Appointed attorneys to the NLRB who are on record as having made their careers out of fighting for employers of the employees they've wronged; and worked to overturn rulings designed to protect union organisations' rights.

@LaxBeav @oknoplzstop @Bdwal359 @LinLee76822176 @refinedmess @NW_StayDet @TigerfangLacey @218Lov @davin_mc @dowdyjackson @nocturnalsuns1 @CJTS7006 @EaleyGregory @KerwinWilliams1 @PunishmentHurts 11) Passed massive tax cuts designed specifically to allow owners of capital (ie the already-rich) to pay lower rates on their passively generated income than workers do on the wages they need to survive.

@LaxBeav @oknoplzstop @Bdwal359 @LinLee76822176 @refinedmess @NW_StayDet @TigerfangLacey @218Lov @davin_mc @dowdyjackson @nocturnalsuns1 @CJTS7006 @EaleyGregory @KerwinWilliams1 @PunishmentHurts 12) Canceled the scheduled (laughable excuse for a) "pay increase" for fed'l workers that would have allowed their existing salaries to just barely increase in line with inflation.

Do you understand what the effects of NOT having that increase are?

@LaxBeav @oknoplzstop @Bdwal359 @LinLee76822176 @refinedmess @NW_StayDet @TigerfangLacey @218Lov @davin_mc @dowdyjackson @nocturnalsuns1 @CJTS7006 @EaleyGregory @KerwinWilliams1 @PunishmentHurts 13) Curtailed the moderation of abusive payday lenders and loan shark orgs.

Again, making life potentially even more unbearable for those he's already financially whipping.

@LaxBeav @oknoplzstop @Bdwal359 @LinLee76822176 @refinedmess @NW_StayDet @TigerfangLacey @218Lov @davin_mc @dowdyjackson @nocturnalsuns1 @CJTS7006 @EaleyGregory @KerwinWilliams1 @PunishmentHurts 14) Intentionally hid a study showing that letting employers steal waiters & waitresses' hard-earned tips would cost those workers BILLIONS of dollars, while proposing changes to allow exactly that.

These are those low-income workers still expected to keep up with paying taxes.

@LaxBeav @oknoplzstop @Bdwal359 @LinLee76822176 @refinedmess @NW_StayDet @TigerfangLacey @218Lov @davin_mc @dowdyjackson @nocturnalsuns1 @CJTS7006 @EaleyGregory @KerwinWilliams1 @PunishmentHurts 15) Restored the right of repeated labor-law violators to compete for government contracts; effectively rewarding their abuse of their employees.
