If you need to order Amazon three times to hold a proper vote on unionizing the actual word is not “ordering” but “asking nicely”…
The corporate masters will allow this one show before the real crackdown under Trump begins.
There’s a reason bezos publicly jerked off trump by fucking over his lil hobby paper
Any workers planning to unionize have to go now. Following Jan 6 the NLRB will be stacked with union busters.
And then hope SCOTUS doesn’t gut the power of unions.
Which they almost certainly will.
For sure. However I think having organized already would put the comms network in place needed for labor action in spite of the law, something that might become needed. We had a case in Ontario where the government passed a law for a public workers union to go back to work or face $10000 fine per person per day. The union said fuck this, if we fold, we lose our power to get better pay after years of government mandated salary freeze. Turns out that bankrupting our school servants isn’t an election winning look so the government folded within days. I don’t think anyone paid any fines. In the states things might get rougher but even there, bankrupting workers or imprisoning them is probably gonna break the camel’s back. Especially given the pro-worker facade Trump wants to maintain. I feel like stripping union power would be a general strike matter for most unions in the US.
TBH, the Trump administration taking drastic measures against unions might be needed to break through to the union members who support him.
Until January
