yea, maybe it's regional because I did see some union involved with the longshoremen strike that appeared all black
but generally in my area it's heavy nepotism and racism keeping brehs out of the skilled trades/unions
so bad that the Sixers had to put certain language into the proposal for their new arena to guarantee a certain % of black union workers would get an opportunity. otherwise that shyt surely would be 100% white and hispanic
majority black city and almost no black people are on the work sites for all this new development around the city, make it make sense
Yeah, guys in that industry are 3,4,5th generation to do so and they have the contacts and clientele, know the certs. to have, etc.
They're fighting anything that cuts into that pie.
I put up the vid,stamp, & article of the Labor Secretary testifying and being questioned by Congress in the thread. From May of this year.
The officials pushing back against Apprentice rule change were doing so to keep the status quo in the Trades/Unions. Speaking directly to a segment of their voters. And I'm sure it got covered in the news, podcaster, radio shows that cater to those voters.
By the same token, the news, websites, podcaster, radio programs with Black audiences should have covered it as well.I doubt it, and in May 2024 those outlets were probably covering trivial shyt.
Keep MFers entertained and uninformed.
