What do you think their policy is on Gaza or trans rights or immigration? Maybe it’s ok to be pro workers but not celebrate hypocritical morons who vote against their own interests just to spite marginalized communities.
🤷🏻
Even if it did, class solidarity is the thing that matters. Support the working class, support strikes.
It would be terrible to lose the NLRB, but we got unions by breaking the fucking law and kidnapping bosses and burning down factories. We can go back to that if they wanna take away our polite options.

This does send an important message, it's just not perceived the way they want it.
For them it looks like human labor is unreliable and need to be replaced by robots.
I don't offer a solution for the workers. But this might backfire, I hope it doesn't and that they get their 30 an hour and humane working hours.
If it really was cheaper and easier they would have done it by now. And even if it could be done it wouldn't be ready Right Now, which is all these ghoulish corporations care about.
We anarchists would also like a piece of that action.

Actually, I’ll admit from my place in the UK I’m not even sure it’s actually legal in the US as things stand…
Strike, while you still won’t immediately get shot by the police for refusing to work.
