“Well it’s not so much an award for this one performance, as it is a recognition of Glenn Close’s entire career...”

It’s going to be a blast watching them try to tiptoe around everything involving Hillbilly Elegy, now that the book’s author is openly a white supremacist.

I’m here for about 1,000% more Black Panther, Wakanda, and the Dora Milaje. Sign me up!

This place was in South Carolina but the assumption probably still holds. It’s also unclear how far away from the home this pond was I don’t think it was right outside the building.

Why would anybody put an ALF next to an alligator pond?

The Dora bit is excellent

New Englanders are every bit as racist as people in the south, they’re just not as open or vocal about it lol.

Unions are not anti-market; they are the natural counter-balance to organized capital (aka corporations). Unions are an important, and necessary, part of a capitalist system, and they coexist in a mutually-beneficial way with corporations in numerous capitalist countries, like Germany, the UK, Scandinavia, etc. 

Would love to see the sourced numbers behind your claims of unions reducing productivity and efficiency.

Lol, I am a proud member of IBEW. I pay my dues every month, I’m not even an electrician. Just a member of the union.

For that, I get actually a pretty decent wage ($5-7 on average above non-union shops)

Decent (not great, but better than most) medical/dental/vision (paid for by my employer)

A pension, paid into by my…

I hope you’re at least a wealthy capitalist.  Otherwise this caping for the powerful is just so sad and pathetic.

“...we will continuously attempt to overturn our loss regardless of the facts.”

Theoretically anyone could just sign up with a union, and there have been such “minority unions” in the past (IE members-only unions). The problem is that they have much less protection under US labor laws than unions done through the conventional route which just failed in Bessemer. The employer has no obligation to…

For a (relatively) low wage worker, being asked to fork over even a very small portion of your paycheck hurts. You feel it instantly, and you see it in every paycheck. On the flip side, union benefits take time to materialize. In a role where the average length of employment is one year, it can be tough to argue for…

It’s a nation of temporarily embarrassed millionaires.

Dude, it’s the South. These people have been told their entire lives that unions are bad and antithetical to Southern values. Even if Amazon hadn’t screwed around with the vote, it still would have lost by a good margin.

What kind of competition is there meant to be between an entire workforce and their employer?

They use all of those coercive union-busting tactics because they work. The average person is not that smart and very willing to vote against their best interests in such an environment. There needs to be better legislation in place to allow for properly informed and propaganda-free voting on unionization.

We’ll see what happens in court, but it was always going to be hard to organize an Amazon warehouse in the South, especially after they won that early victory on the number of employees voting. I remember a few months ago some union folks on Twitter saying that was a bad sign for the potential success of the vote -…
