‘disgusting, illegal, and totally predictable from these two clowns’ is well phrased

America’s Richest Men Ask the Courts to Make Unions Illegal
Fourscore and seven years ago
—1937, to be exact—
our fathers on the Supreme Court (well, five of them, which was just enough) brought forth a new nation:
#New #Deal America.In that year, the justices ruled that the most fundamental legislative works of Franklin Roosevelt’s presidency
—Social Security and the National Labor Relations Act ( #NLRA )
—were constitutional.So said the Court; so said, in the NLRA case, Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes, the decision’s author, who had been the Republican candidate for president in 1916.
From these decisions, which 🔸saved seniors from destitution 🔸and 💥enabled workers to form unions, 💥a broadly shared #prosperity emerged that gave the nation a middle-class majority for the three decades after World War II.Now we are engaged in a war with the rulers of the new economy, who, having already downsized that middle class by appropriating an ever larger share of the proceeds from its work for themselves, actually want to strike down the NLRA.
In the past few weeks, three pillars of that economy
—Elon Musk’s #SpaceX, Jeff Bezos’s #Amazon, and the Albrecht family’s #TraderJoe's
—have all asked federal courts to declare the core functions of the NLRA #unconstitutional, on the grounds that the National Labor Relations Board’s (NLRB) #administrative #courts, 🔹like those of other regulatory agencies, 🔹mix judicial functions with executive branch functions.In actual practice, what those bodies do is hear and rule on cases such as those brought by workers on organizing campaigns who’ve been illegally fired.
What Elon and Jeff would prefer is that federal courts hear such cases directly, which guarantees that
👉by the time they reach the bench, those organizing campaigns will have become a dim memory -
The National Labor Relations Act of 1935 #NLRA protects workplace democracy by providing employees at private-sector workplaces the fundamental right to seek better working conditions and designation of representation "without fear of retaliation."
#Google just broke this law basically on live television!

My 12/29/23 #NLRB charge has been docketed. 🎉
One of Apple's lawyers emailed me this week to tell me she doesn't think she violated the #NLRA, and I was like, oh sweet baby, you're going to have to explain that to the federal investigator now, not to me.

Why Does #Starbucks Stall #Union Negotiations? Because It Can.
Weak labor laws allow the #coffee giant to avoid contract talks. In an attempt to undermine union efforts in Buffalo, New York, #NLRB says they violated #NLRA hundreds of times. “They are the worst #unionbuster in history, and we will continue to pursue all legal challenges,” said #WorkersUnited spokesperson Melissa Palominos. “In the meantime Starbucks workers continue to successfully #unionize their stores.”

"Today, #NLRB issued a decision adopting a new legal standard for evaluating whether an employer work rule is unlawful to maintain under the #NLRA"
This is huge
In recent years, NLRB review of employment policies provided generous deference to the employer ("assume good intent")
The NLRB is now returning to labor law's "strict scrutiny" of work rules
If the work rule is suspect, now the burden's on the employer to prove the rule is important & narrowly tailored

Wann und warum begannen Gewerkschaften mit dem Unterzeichnen von Tarifverträgen?
Robin J. Cartwright erkundet die historischen Ursprünge des Tarifvertragwesens in den Vereinigten Staaten – dem vorherrschenden Modell des Gewerkschaftswesens, in dem Arbeiter und Arbeitgeber einen Vertrag aushandeln. Man beachte besonders, wie die Arbeitgeber selbst nach dem Tarifvertragssystem strebten um die Gewerkschaften zu zähmen und die Gewerkschaftsführer zum Zurückhalten von Streiks brachten.
