The only way we effect lasting change for regular people is to go out in the street and go on strike. As a student of labor history and a labor law scholar, I strongly disagree with your premise that we can win in the courts. In 1936 Congress passed the Wagner Act. That gave union members bargaining parity with…

What if we all went on strike? 

Work-to-rule is a great way to go. If workers only do what they are contracted for, everything slows down. Management gets a lot of free labor from us. 

There’s a rumor going round that Federal employees can be fired after 30 days off. It’s MOSTLY not TRUE! https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/federal-government-workers-30-days/

No. They aren’t. And what are they doing now to buy groceries. Lots of public employees don’t make a lot of money and live paycheck to paycheck. Contract workers? They are SOL. 

The private sector NEVER does it better. Privatization results in job insecurity, loss of benefits, and contract work. That is not all it does. It allows systems to collapse, like PGE did, so we got multi-billion dollar fires and unnecessary loss of life and communities. Privatization is THEFT of the PUBLIC…

Same for politicians. They should be dragged kicking and screaming from civilian careers. 

Bravo. That’s the funniest thing I’ve read in months.

We’re going to roll all that shit back. 

Biglier. I love it. 

He overarticulates in the way that most supercilious pricks do. It’s a disease. He’s also a very bad actor. He thinks this makes him sound authoritative but it just makes him sound authoritarian. 

Oh no. It’s a Brett Kavanaugh clone. I bet there are more. 

Destroying public sector unions is the holy grail of the GOPs. They are the hardest to wipe out. Because of the benchmarks that public sector unions create, all other workers have a starting point for their own negotiations. If you look at any other country that is suffering erosion of their democratic structures you…

Sad. In so many different ways. The story that breaks my heart is the one where rump goes to pick up Jr. at his dorm to go to a football game. Jr. opens the door wearing a t-shirt and rump slugs him on the chin and knocks him to the floor. rump tells him to put on a suit. A suit, to go to a football game. This whole…
