The court (and Amazon etc.) need to be made to understand that the alternative to the NLRB is that the workers strike anyway, violently.

Edit: I accidentally some words.

It isn’t the workers who bring the violence. The police work for the capitalist class, and their true purpose is to break strikes by any means necessary. History of union busting in the United States

I've said it before... total free market rule is a great solution, as long as you're also ok with occasional uprisings where the masses go around beheading the corrupt. As far as I'm concerned... that is a market force.

Alternately, we can have government protections and labor organizations. I feel like that usually works better.

I'm really not sure how to express how disgusted and angry that these "people" keep getting to pull this level of bullshit.

What realistic responses do we have left for them before the french method is all that is left?

We're out of "realistic responses" that aren't going full Louverture, I fear. Koupe tet, boule kay.

Man I remember when trader Joe's was a good place to work where people stayed for the long haul once they got in. They were kinda the place that employees at other supermarkets aspired to move up to.

How things change.

The freedom of slave owners to own slaves is being threatened by those pesky slaves who think they should have rights.
