Sounds like a fool. Sell out.😢
Talking trash to union members to their face.
Tim Scott, as Republican as they come and go!
The GOP hates the working class
Oh how nice to bring up ray gun, I lost almost 50 percent of pay doing the same job from 1980 to 1982, hope ray gun is nice and warm!
How about they just FIRE Scott? That is a start. Crushing American workers and turning a blind eye to corporations who hoover up insane compensation packages for executives doesn't seem to be a bad thing for conservative voters and the people they vote for. What is more 'anti-american' than being a replublican?
He says as he is paid by the American taxpayers as he underdelivers on the George Floyd Bill
It's as dumb a comment from you as it was from Reagan. American workers need unions. I survived my job with the state of CA by taking my union rep to every meeting I had with my supervisor.
This fool has no idea about labor laws lol.
Right-to-work states are the biggest drain on pensions.
Tim Scott is uninformed or ill- informed. An embarrassment to the Republican party.
Tim Scott is promoting SLAVE wages for workers and bigger profits for the companies.
Sorry excuse for a human.
He don't what he is talking. He want exploited and drink workers blood. ..you have perrto theory..
No wonder he comes from one of the most anti union states like Florida. They want everyone to get paid like the migrant farm workers that they use as basically glorified slaves working in the fields!!!
From watching this video, I can't discern whether Scott is referring to only Federal workers as he was using for an example or if he was also alluding to the private sector. When he was speaking about pensions he was clearly talking about the private sector.
Uncle Tom needs to be put back on a Georgia cotton plantation where he belongs.
💰💰#GM CEO Mary Barras tallied nearly $29 MILLION in 2022 pay, …Barras makes 362 times more than the typical GM worker 💰💰
#autoworkers have seen their AVERAGE #WAGES #FALL 19.3% since 2008 (adjusting for inflation), according to senior economist at Economic Policy Institute. That's because autoworker "concessions made following the 2008 auto industry crisis were never reinstated," Hersh said in a recent blog post, "including a suspension of cost-of-living adjustments."
HOW MUCH MONEY DO THE BIG THREE AUTOMAKER #CEOs make?
Ford CEO Jim Farley earned $21 million in total compensation last year, the Detroit News reported, while Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares made $24.8 million, according to the Detroit Free Press. GM CEO Mary Barras tallied nearly $29 million in 2022 pay, Automotive News reported.
Overall CEO pay at the Big Three companies rose 40% from 2013 to 2022, according to EPI.
Barras makes 362 times more than the typical GM worker, while Tavares makes 365 times more, according to company filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Farley at Ford makes 281 times more, filings show.
Scott is either as dumb as a brick or has come up with clever lies to feed these people. These believe this BS the pensions money given are unions being destroyed by lack of work in the industry and companies have been able to walk away and close shop leaving Pensions to dry up instead of having to insure the funds People put their dollars into those funds from their payck The federal gov is just insuring them when companies/corporations took advantage of their workers. Shame that people don't want funds to go to help people. Federal taxes do not fund spending those people are not paying the bill on those funds. I bet Scott had no problem bailing out corporations, especially the ones that he gets his donations from.
you better research, back when reagan fired air traffic control, the controllers had a no strike clause and they had a court order to return to work…i think that is why reagan fired those employees…scott, you might of lost more than 1/2 million votes…
You do realize that most of those
Temp workers you talk about will be migrants😂 I'm sorry but the American work force ain't what it use to be. You see the problems with low wages is well people want jobs that pay more money. So what you had, our two generations of Americans, millennials and Z er's who don't want labor jobs because those jobs didn't pay enough money.😂😂😂😂
On behalf of black people in America…." We told you he was a sell-out."😂😂 Who knows a brother better than his brother huh?
That is so un-American for any candidate to say that striking workers should be fired. Such nut jobs for Republican choices for president and he's one of them.
Republicans don't like unions because they can't control them like they want to control American people lives!
Did Scott mention that the American people pickup the tab on all this tax breaks for the wealthy people!
And it his party that is pro worker.🙄
This candidate has never been involved in union contract negotiations, has he? Fire the workers for exercising their legal right to strike? Good luck with that advice, #Scott. 🤨😂😂😂
No them people worked for those jobs
Like he works for his
No job for them no job for him
You're the one who should be fired house rigger
Woe the days when Businesses were able to fire incompetent works so they can hire competent workers without the backlash from angry mobs.
Dear America, when an Uncle Tom talks, you ignore them. When a sell out to a coconut, fake wannabe snowflake, with an imaginary girlfriend, this is what you get.
I dont agree, how about laying off the FBI & DOJ
Didn't the government BAIL out corporations with TAX payer money🤔 Stop sending money to foreign countries and stop letting immigrants in when Americans are suffering already🤨
Perhaps Scott should do a bit of historical investigation. Federal Government workers were are NOT ALLOWED to strike. They took an oath. They knew that when they left the job. Regardless of your take on this current situation, there's no comparison. Case closed.
Man is a hypocrite talks about his roots and backs the corporate greed disgusting sellout for$$$$
How far could he goes?
Anti-worker, anti common man. And this is the “sane” one of the group. This how little they actually care about common people
Republicans are disgusting.
Wow: Scott a real deal Fascist!
I think he likes boys.
What a fool!
Un Patriotic Republicans.
I support Unions.
Wow. Can he say anything that’s true beyond a desire to fire union workers. So sad for our great country to have people like Sen Scott in our US Senate.
No KIds and No Military service……I Dont Know…..from Charleston with no Gullah accent..hmmm…I dont Know…100…Former West Ashley Resident…100
Vote NO for Senator Scott it's a NO GO…. Corporate Lies and Arrogance vs Slaves wages
