Two hundred union workers, out of 5,700 who assemble dishwashers, refrigerators, washers, and dryers for GE Appliances-Haier at Appliance Park in Louisville, Kentucky, received notice this month that the Trump administration is revoking their work authorizations. The immigrant workers from Cuba, Nicaragua, Haiti, and Venezuela have received a mixed reaction to their imminent deportation—hostility from some co-workers and an outpouring of support from their union and the local labor movement. They’re part of the Communications Workers’ industrial division, IUE-CWA Local 83761.

      Unions are about 20 times better a unit of political power and representation than are political parties. Political parties, however they start, inevitably after a while are made up of people who aren’t in your grouping and don’t give a shit about you. They just work on political-party stuff and they act accordingly.
