Read Paul Krugman’s analysis of Trump’s Agenda, Stephen Miller and the ICE AGENTS and their ultimate effect on our Economy and you’ll be terrified. Donald Trump has been able to convert Immigration and Customs Enforcement (and Customs and Border Protection, which is effectively part of the same operation) into a huge secret police force — … More TheVoiceOfJoyce Don’t be complacent, between Deportations, ICE gulags & loss of Immigrants, Americans will be less economically secure.

June 29, 2025

Last night just before midnight, Republicans released their new version of the omnibus budget reconciliation bill. It is a sign of just how unpopular this bill is that they released the new version just before midnight on a Friday night, a time that is the graveyard of news stories. Over the course of today, the … More TheVoiceOfJoyce Trump’s Big Ugly Bill passed the Senate last night.

TheVoiceOfJoyce Clean Air Zones in European Capitals are decreasing NO pollution and making it easier to breathe clean air. They’re mandating the use of EV’s and removing gasoline powered cars. If we could give incentives in USA for Hummers and SUV’s, why not give a $ 10, 000 credit to purchase EV’s here. Let’s tame pollution in our cities, too! Increase the use of safe, green, affordable, public transportation. Pollution kills! Go renewables now!

The Uber Papers, details his campaign to persuade World Leaders to accept his service , while knowingly putting his employees in harms way. If Uber employees were threatened with Violence, he believed that was the price they should pay for the Uber Corporate placement. It appears Kalanick believed he was above the Law and raked in Corporate Billions, while giving his employees minimal pay and destroying the Local cheaper, preferred existing Taxi service market.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Starbucks employees, have joined a Union to support their efforts to secure a living wage and safer working conditions. Many were fired immediately after the shop was Unionized. They’re litigating, however, why not take your dispute to the NLRB for adjudication? Let’s see how the pro labor prosecutor, Jennifer Abruzzo, can help employees. She comes from the CIO & served on the Harvard Advisory Commission, establishing, new rules for workers, a PDF entitled, A Clean Slate for Workers. https://lwp.law.harvard.edu/files/lwp/files/executive_summary_clean_slate_for_worker_power.pdf The new guidelines should help all Labor organize into Unions and protect their jobs during and after the Process. Including, extending the Unionizing process to include all Starbucks stores, sectional Unionization!

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce No wonder America is home to the highest Homicides in the world & claims more suicide as well. American workers salaries keep dropping at $22-24,000 per yr , while Corporate CEO salaries have increased to a minimum of $670-1 and $1000-1 . Corporate buy backs directly flow into thevCEO’s pay package. No wonder American Labor is the working poor. Where’s an EO to level the field and stop the monopolies from gaming their workers. When will workers say enough? When will the NLRB change their rules back from 2004 to empower Labor once again. Americans are suffering on every economic front:No food, limited healthcare, poor education and they know it!

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Unemployment may be low statistically, I question the #’s, and employees are still underpaid and unable to cope with inflation. The War in Ukraine didn’t cause our problems, Corporate greed is directly to blame. Change the NLRB Labor Laws to promote labor and employees won’t have to rely on Corporate largesse. Many industries need Union clout to increase wages and benefits. The Food pantries are overwhelmed. When is labor paid a living wage? When will they be compensated for their loyalty? When are they treated with respect and dignity? Capitalism before the 1980’s was not as cruel! There has been a systematic overturning of Labor’s Rights.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce A Beer costing $7 on the Street can cost $28 at the airport. There is a Law to hold down food & drink pricing and it’s now being enforced. 10% above street prices is acceptable. Now Congress needs to bring done Street Pricing. Anti trust Laws and price controls are necessary to stop runaway Inflation.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Unionize all airport workers $2-8/hr is not a living wage. Get a Union and get healthcare, vacation pay, benefits and a pension. The Dallas workers , can consult the folks in Amazon Staten Island for advice. Strike , if necessary. Be determined. Unionization is the way out of poverty and monetary insecurity. Do it for yourselves and families.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce As Unions gain ground in America, their pro Democracy stance is growing to. They got out and helped citizens register in key battleground states where TrumpsGOP threatens to overturn 2020 electoral count. Unions are gaining adherents. Starbucks Reserve in Chelsea, NYC just Unionized. NYC is open to Unions. Our unemployment rate is around 7.9% , twice the National average. Why? There is a need for IT and qualified managers, yet rewards only go to the Top Earners. It’s time to put innovators back to work!
