Labor department rhetoric, such as ‘One Homeland. One People. One Heritage’, prompt comparisons to Nazi slogan
Union leaders have accused the Trump administration of a “rhetorical shift towards white supremacy” after social media posts by the US Department of Labor drew comparison with a Nazi slogan.
Recent posts from the agency include a video captioned “remember who you are, American”, with the phrase: “One Homeland. One People. One Heritage.”
Users of X, formerly Twitter, and Grok, the platform’s AI tool, highlighted a similarity with the Nazi slogan: “Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Führer” (“one people, one realm, one leader”).
“The similarity to that Nazi slogan is bad,” Christopher Hayes, a labor historian and professor at Rutgers University, told the Guardian, expressing alarm over “the motivation behind it, the message, the sentiment and desired outcome”.
I guarantee more than half the people in those Unions voted for Trump in 2024
Two unions are mentioned: ‘International Union of Painters & Allied Trades’ and ‘National Nurses United’. I understand that the term ‘uinon’ in the states has been heavily associated with construction , and there tends to be a conservative lean in construction, but not all unions are like that. For instance, I’m in the UAW branch for scientific researchers. Just writing this to put out there that unions can, and should, be in every industry and that the political leanings of unions is case by case.
