Oligarchy is here. It’s up to is, the proletariat to remove it.

Impoundment Act stands in his way.

As do these Biden rules:

Nothing anybody will do, typical Americans.

All talk no action is why you're in the predicament you're in.

asterlil.bsky.social•89 days ago

We're that car with the broken radiator at the side of the road, no auto association membership, passenger is arguing and driver thinks everything will be fine.

Btw, there are no typical Americans any more. If there ever were.

law4employees.bsky.social•89 days ago

This is a very important story. And the final point needs to be emphasized, without at least the appearance of a fair process like the NLRB, there will be a replay of our labor history with wildcat strikes, secondary boycotts and possibly even violence.

asrahn.bsky.social•89 days ago

It behooves us to remember that collective bargaining agreements are actually the labor market's compromise, yet companies seem extremely keen on going back to a time when factories were strangely flammable and the boss could find himself at the mercy of a mob animated by righteous anger.

tessafisher.bsky.social•88 days ago

Hell, bosses used to have to worry about bullets being shot through the windows of their homes, but I guess that's what Musk and friends want to go back to.

17x2lizards.bsky.social•86 days ago

AND, child labor... championed by the republican governors.

This administration and their towel boys never met a law it liked or didn't break.

concordski-andy.bsky.social•88 days ago

Seems like a sure-fire way to make labor become militant and make demands backed by threat of violence.

entangledhere.bsky.social•89 days ago

For context, everyone should look up what happened to unions in 1930s Germany.......

notasmuch.bsky.social•86 days ago

Time for class consciousness.

lindakaboolian.bsky.social•88 days ago

Great piece. Readers: several non profit organizations, the ones that will be. Egging for donations in December, have joined with Musk in this challenge. Among them is the Audubon. There are others. Use your contributions wisely. Write and let them know your position.

linkasofia.bsky.social•86 days ago

is there a list somewhere?

lindakaboolian.bsky.social•86 days ago

Hold onto your seat: the ACLU has joined. Otherwise, I am still researching.

Trump supporters don't like unions, even the ones that are in a union. Go figure.

millhousebooty.bsky.social•87 days ago

why I don’t buy the fact that Trump voters are so “misinformed”. Union members are the most politically informed people I’ve ever met & a big chunk of them voted for the most anti-union president in US history. They have a more important agenda…. they hate the same people Trump does.

Tryna fool us with a jaunty lil hello before blowing our broken hearts to pieces.

Add Trader Joe’s to the list

Both he and Tulsi Gabbard are big homophobes.

The world is starting to look like Elysium, just 125 earlier.

suzannelindbergh.bsky.social•86 days ago

I feel like there was a candidate who was ‘all in’ for unions…and she talked about it a lot. And I feel like many of those union workers treated said candidate poorly…. Hmmmm…

smellbringer.bsky.social•89 days ago

I like the point you make at the end, that it works both ways. The idea that the government can offer some recompense is a check on unions getting drastic in their actions.

Without it? Well two words come to mind: Coal Wars.

In the age of the Internet it'll be the ultimate FAFO for big business.

susanhendrick.bsky.social•86 days ago

Don’t buy on Amazon! Shop local!

erikepost.com•88 days ago

I haven't shopped at Trader Joe's in nearly a year because of their joining the NLRB suit.

Truly, I miss the lebkuchen this time of year, but y'all threw down with Bezos and Musk.

Ask Elmo if he plans to kill NASA.

freedomlvr.bsky.social•84 days ago

Good read, but so depressing. I really need to cut ties with Amazon.

purplehaze4579.bsky.social•86 days ago

Why do shitheads like this exist? I think wealth becomes meaningless, then what happens, "I want to feel better by seeing others suffer" is this what happens? Just trying to understand what motivates rich assholes.

p0lka.bsky.social•86 days ago

Best job I ever had was union. Great support of our rights and job safety.

jpmendelson.bsky.social•89 days ago

Thanks for this, Dave. Really needed right now. No one can let their guard down, simply because Trump appointed one of the more “pro-labor” GOPers to head DOL.

veganshawn.bsky.social•86 days ago

He needs deported

mangoboy66.bsky.social•89 days ago

the aclu joined that lawsuit because the nlrb ruled they illegally fired an employee. that gets very little coverage.

Wait until they repeal Davis-Bacon...

nomnomnomdeplumb.bsky.social•86 days ago

So if the nlrb goes away does that mean unionists are free to bring back the techniques that were in use before?

sonofherby.bsky.social•86 days ago

There will be violence on each side.

This of course is one of many examples. Even involved a crazy rich guy.

repetitiveuser.bsky.social•87 days ago

Can't stop thinking about how the Teamsters demanded Dems save their pensions and then proceeded to vote for Trump.

peterfeld.bsky.social•86 days ago

Trader Joe's (contrary to your report?) and Starbucks also in on this?

jrzyjrnymn.bsky.social•86 days ago

To my fellow union members that voted for the orange shit pile, we told you so you fucking morons…..

Karma, I’m told, is a bitch. This will come back on him. And I look forward to the day his billions go poof. Or into the federal coffers.

They are trying to kill or at least kneecap the NLRB. You may not be in a Union but Unions make a difference in every working place.
“Constitutional challenges to the National Labor Relations Board may end up before the Supreme Court, with grave implications for workers and unions.”
