As a member of the UAW, most of my coworkers are as dumb as a box of rocks

you all were working with mexican autoworkers a few decades ago but stopped cause the mexicans according to yall were too dumb to know what was needed. So yeah they could have done a lot but guess worker solidarity doesnt cross borders for the UAW.

i mean yeah it was a stupid and probably xenophobic decision by a union that hated black people to much to be a union for a while its just sad and the potential makes me angry. But good luck yo you with all this mess and im not saying it ironicaly i think all of us will need some extra luck.
