UAW endorses Clinton, “Wall Street’s presidential darling”

The UAW endorsement of Hillary Clinton is a marriage made in heaven, or better yet Wall Street.


UAW endorses Clinton, “Wall Street’s presidential darling”

OBAMA-CLINTONOMICS: THEY SERVE THEIR WALL STREET CRONIES FIRST, ILLEGALS SECOND, AND MUSLIM DICTATORS LAST.... the rest of us get the tax bills for their combined looting, bailouts and welfare!

"The day after the UAW endorsed Clinton, CNBC reported that

Clinton has “been Wall Street’s presidential darling so far by a

large margin,” noting that she had taken in a “stunning haul from

the finance industry—just shy of $27 million and counting,

according to the latest filings as analyzed by OpenSecrets.org."


"In fact, the UAW has conspired with the companies and big-

business politicians for decades to lower the wages of autoworkers.

In particular, it worked with Obama, who insisted on cutting the

wages of new hires in half as a condition for the 2009 bailout of

General Motors and Chrysler. The UAW will have no problem

supporting similar demands if Clinton or Trump reaches the White

House."

UAW endorses Clinton, “Wall Street’s presidential darling”

By Jerry White
27 May 2016
On Wednesday the United Auto Workers formally endorsed Hillary Clinton for president of the United States. While the UAW’s endorsement of the Democratic frontrunner was no surprise, its embrace of the candidate with the closest ties to Wall Street and the American military intelligence apparatus is nevertheless significant. It underscores the gaping chasm between this corporatist organization and the workers it fraudulently claims to speak for.

UAW President Dennis Williams made the announcement on MSNBC’s “Hardball with Chris Matthews,” saying the UAW executive board had unanimously endorsed Clinton and “all our members will be with us.” Williams claimed the decision had come after polling members and holding “focus groups” that showed “very close” numbers for Clinton and Bernie Sanders. Republican Donald Trump got the support of 28 percent of those polled, Williams said.

The UAW’s endorsement comes amidst a deepening political crisis for the Clinton campaign. Though she has declared the Democratic primaries effectively over, she is widely despised by Democratic Party primary voters. There is far greater support for the self-described democratic socialist Bernie Sanders, who defeated Clinton in Michigan and Indiana—two centers of the auto industry.

The day after the UAW endorsed Clinton, CNBC reported that Clinton has “been Wall Street’s presidential darling so far by a large margin,” noting that she had taken in a “stunning haul from the finance industry—just shy of $27 million and counting, according to the latest filings as analyzed by OpenSecrets.org.”

Significantly, while endorsing Clinton, Williams had difficulty concealing his sympathy for Trump’s nationalist tirades against Mexico and China and said nothing about the fascistic candidate’s anti-immigrant agitation. Williams said the UAW “was with Trump” on what he said about taxing Ford if it moved production to Mexico. The problem, Williams said, was that Trump supported lowering wages to “compete” with Mexico, something the UAW said it would never support.

In fact, the UAW has conspired with the companies and big-business politicians for decades to lower the wages of autoworkers. In particular, it worked with Obama, who insisted on cutting the wages of new hires in half as a condition for the 2009 bailout of General Motors and Chrysler. The UAW will have no problem supporting similar demands if Clinton or Trump reaches the White House.

If the UAW delayed its endorsement for this long it is because it was seeking more commitments from Clinton to wage trade war on behalf of US companies. Clinton, whom Trump has criticized for supporting the North American Free Trade Agreement, obliged by issuing a statement that dripped with the virulent national chauvinism long associated with the UAW and other unions.

Responding to the endorsement, Clinton said, “autoworkers need more than tough talk on trade. They need a president who knows how to compete and win for American workers. I have said for years that I want to see NAFTA renegotiated to give American workers a level playing field. And we need to take on new challenges, like weak auto ‘rules of origin’ standards that provide a backdoor for Chinese steel and other products into the US. We’re going to throw the book at China and stop them from cheating American workers.”

In its statement, the UAW added that Clinton would “empower a new chief trade prosecutor who will report directly to her and aggressively combat trade violations. She also will triple the number of trade enforcement officers and crack down on currency manipulation that hurts American workers,” and create “high standards for domestic sourcing and ‘buy American’ laws.”

This nationalist poison has long been the stock-in-trade of the UAW, which is bound up with its ever-closer collaboration and integration into the structure of corporate management. According to the UAW, Clinton, Sanders and Trump, it is not capitalism that is responsible for the destruction of millions of jobs and the pitting of workers around the world in a fratricidal race to the bottom, but “unfair trade deals” that give advantage to China and other economic competitors.

The nationalism of the UAW is used to divide American workers from their brothers and sisters around the world who are waging a struggle against the same transnational corporations. It is also aimed at creating the political climate to justify an escalation of imperialist militarism and war against China. In this regard, the UAW and Clinton, the most hawkish of all the capitalist candidates in the elections, are marching in lockstep.

Clinton knows full well that the UAW is a tool of corporate management and the government, and she assured the UAW and other unions that if elected, “organized labor will always have a champion in the White House and a seat at the table.” She specifically expressed her support for the UAW drive to “organize” the Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The joint efforts of the German-based automaker and its in-house union, IG Metall, to install the UAW has repeatedly run into the opposition of workers at the plant, as well as laws prohibiting company-controlled unions.

Clinton, echoing President Obama, boasted, “The US auto industry has come roaring back from the great recession and just posted its best year ever,” attributing this to the hard work and creativity of American workers. In fact, the vast profits, which have been used to enrich wealthy investors and top executives, are the result of relentless attacks, aided and abetted by the UAW, on the jobs, wages, benefits and work conditions of autoworkers.

In exchange for collaborating with Obama during the 2009 auto industry restructuring, the UAW was given control of billions of dollars in corporate stocks as part of a deal to take over the provision of retiree health care benefits and relieve the employers of any further obligations. Holding the largest block of GM stocks, the UAW also has a “seat at the table” on GM’s corporate board of directors.

The UAW barely survived a near-rebellion by rank-and-file autoworkers last fall, after Fiat Chrysler workers voted down the first UAW-backed national labor agreement in 33 years. It was only able to ram through the sellout deals by resorting to lies, threats and vote fraud. The new four-year deals retain the hated two-tier wage and benefit system and contain labor cost increases to below the rate of inflation.

The UAW endorsement of Hillary Clinton is a marriage made in heaven, or better yet Wall Street. They both share the fear that the UAW will not be able to survive another upheaval by autoworkers who, like tens of millions of other workers, are being radicalized by unprecedented social inequality, unending wars and the turn by the corporate and financial oligarchy in the US and around the world to ever more authoritarian forms of rule.

High-profile New York event highlights Clinton's 'elite' image


By Gabriel Debenedetti

NEW YORK (Reuters) - When Hillary Clinton rubs shoulders with

financial executives and philanthropic giants at the Clinton Global

Initiative's meeting this week, it will underscore the tension

between her elite connections and populist image likely to feature

in her expected 2016 presidential campaign.

Seen by liberal critics as a close ally of the global elite, she will have to appeal to middle class voters after facing criticism this summer that she is out of touch.

Clinton drew the ire of progressives and Republicans alike in June by saying she was "dead broke" after leaving the White House as first lady in 2001. And to her populist critics, nowhere is the tension between her status as an emblem of the elite and the need to connect to voters more apparent than in New York, where this week's meeting takes place.

It is a city where she appears with high-profile billionaires, but also a city led by progressive hero Mayor Bill de Blasio, her one-time campaign manager.

"If you look at her track record from the past, it is out of step with the current Democratic Party. Not on social issues, but definitely on economic issues, so we're going to be watching very carefully," said Charles Chamberlain, executive director of liberal group Democracy For America.

"There's no question the de Blasio wing of the

party is ascendant," Chamberlain added, calling

Clinton a leader of Democrats' "Wall Street wing"

and saying her appearances with financiers are

concerning.

Clinton represented New York as a U.S. senator, and both her 2016 campaign and that year's Democratic convention could be based here.

This week's annual meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative boasts celebrities like actors Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon alongside business titans like Alibaba's Jack Ma and Goldman Sachs' Lloyd Blankfein. President Barack Obama will speak on Tuesday, at a hotel where early on Monday screens occasionally flashed thanks to sponsor Blackstone, the private equity giant.

Hillary Clinton's appearances with financial executives worry progressives who favor stringent bank regulations. But Clinton allies swat away such criticism by noting this week's event is based on philanthropy, and point to the foundation's work.

The initiative, part of the broader Clinton Foundation, brings together leaders to pledge to work on important global problems. Former President Bill Clinton created the foundation although now Hillary and daughter Chelsea also help lead it.

"CGI has helped improve the lives of over 430 million people in more than 180 countries and has worked to secure $103 billion to spur innovative solutions to make the world a better place," said Adrienne Elrod of pro-Clinton group Correct The Record.

LIBERAL GROUPS WARY

But liberal groups say they are keeping a wary eye on the summit.

"As business and political leaders converge in New York this weekend, the political atmosphere is set. An economic populist tide is sweeping the country," said Laura Friedenbach of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, which heavily supports Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren.

But Clinton's recent speeches have hit a noticeably populist note, and she appeared with labor leaders in New York soon after returning to politically influential Iowa in mid-September.

And supporters of the former secretary of state point to preliminary polls that show Clinton with a considerable lead over potential liberal challengers in the Democratic primary field, including Warren.

A September CNN/ORC poll of Iowa Democrats showed Clinton with a 39 percent lead over Vice President Joe Biden, her closest competitor.

Peter Buttenwieser, a long-time Democratic donor, philanthropist, and Clinton supporter whose mother's family founded Lehman Brothers, said fears of a liberal backlash against Clinton were overblown.

"Most progressive candidates, including many who are running for the Senate this time, meet with business people, and there's nothing wrong with the vast majority of people who run good, successful businesses," he said.

THEY LIE LIKE POLITICIANS, HISPANDER LIKE THE OBAMANATION, AND SERVE THE 1% AS ALWAYS. THEIR “SPEAKING FEES” IN THE MILLIONS ARE SIMPLY PAY OFFS OR BRIBES FROM THE SPECIAL INTERESTS THEY HAVE ALWAYS SERVED.


 

“The Clintons still feel the need to feign that they are still in touch with the struggles of regular Americans,” said Tim Miller, the communications director for America Rising. “He laments being the president with the ‘lowest net worth’ which is akin to saying his floors are made of the cheapest marble. Then he goes on to say that they talk with people in their town. They live in one of the most elite, moneyed towns in America. 

“The Clintons have lived in a 1 percent bubble for so long, their experience has become warped, and that’s a major problem in a presidential campaign,” Miller added. The couple’s home is in Chappaqua, N.Y.


HILLARY and BILLARY… collecting their back-end bribes from all the rich they served so well!

GETTING RICH FOR SERVING THE RICH… and what have they done for America again??? I forget… again!

what is the REAL cost of all that “CHEAP” Mexican labor? Add it up and then factor in the MEXICAN CRIME TIDAL WAVE and the fact that the MEXICAN  now operate in 2,500 American cities!



 AMNESTY: America’s death warrant 

THE CONSPIRACY to DESTROY AMERICA’S BORDERS… Obama and his Wall Street banksters
 
This nation no longer is a democratic republic...rather it has become a tool of the super-rich members of the above mentioned elite who preselect our presidents based on their cooperation and complicity with the elite’s ultimate goals. Obama has, in their opinion done superbly carrying out the plans well laid out for him by his backers.


BILLIONAIRES partner with MEXICO, OBAMA and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to assault the AMERICAN WORKER…. Amnesty, it’s all about keeping wages depressed and passing along the real cost of all that “cheap” mex labor to the American middle class.

AMERICA: NO DAMNED LEGAL NEED

APPLY!!!
 
OPEN BORDERS AND ENDLESS HORDES OF IMMIGRANTS POURING IN IS ONLY ABOUT KEEPING WAGES DEPRESSED
To cite just one example, if there is a shortage of U.S. engineers, are 1.5 million Americans with engineering degrees either unemployed or working in other fields? In all too many cases, U.S. tech companies prefer foreign workers on temporary visas because they are cheaper and more exploitable than Americans.

UNDER OBAMA, TWO-THIRDS OF JOBS GO TO HIS PARTY BASE OF ILLEGALS!
“At the hearing, Dr. Rakesh Kochar, Associate Director for Research at the Pew Hispanic Center, testified that in the year following the official end of the recession (June 2009), foreign-born workers gained 656,000 jobs while native-born workers lost an additional 1.2 million jobs.”

"We have a situation where the job market — the bottom fell out, yet we kept legal immigration relatively high without even a national debate," he said. "As a consequence, a lot of the job growth has been going to immigrants."

Mr. Obama did take action this year to grant many illegal immigrants up to 30 years of age a tentative legal status that prevents them from being deported and authorizes them to work in the United States.
Some Republicans in Congress have criticized Mr. Obama's policy, saying it violates his powers and will mean more competition for scarce jobs.

WE KNOW WHAT OBAMA’S CRONY BANKSTERS HAVE DONE TO THE AMERICAN ECONOMY… but will Obama’s amnesty hoax to legalize mexico’s looting and destroy the GOP, also destroy the DEMOCRAT PARTY?

HE’S WORKING ON IT…
