You know what? I don’t want “President Biden” any more than you do, but if he wins the Democrat nomination, you’d damn well better believe he will get my vote.

I see you’re unfamiliar with how NLRB elections work.

All the intimidation was perfectly legal, as our labor laws are biased in favor of employers.

Employers are allowed to force workers to attend captive audience meetings where they get to harangue the workers with anti union propaganda and threats of what they might

That didn’t happen voluntarily.

That was in the wake of Naziism, which involved Hitler crushing Germany’s unions and replacing them with Nazi controlled company unions, and also involved the massive use of slave labor and concentration camp inmates in German industry - also there were a series of hard fought strikes in

The world you’re looking for is “solidarity”

Workers have to stick together, or we’d be defenseless against the boss

FYI, I happen to personally know one of the workers at Cablevision in Brooklyn who was employed there during the organizing campaign.

The only intimidation came from management.

Found the management troll.

If the relationship is working between the workers and company, then why do you want to invite this type of 3rd party relationship into your life, especially with the reputation the UAW has?

Totally man, the police and firefighters are 100% unnecessary.

it’s hilarious.

Fundamentally, all unions provide a way for employees to collectively bargain for higher pay and better working conditions. Police, Fire, Auto Workers, Aerospace Machinists Teachers, all the same thing.

...... explain to me why you think so. Are Teamsters different too?  How does the task that a worker does make their belonging to a union different?  

These votes have been happening because there are brave workers at Volkswagen Chattanooga Assembly who’ve been standing up for their rights.

Unfortunately, they don’t have a union combative enough to take the gloves off and fight for them - so they’ve been hamstrung by the NLRB process, which has a strong pro

Threatening people with job loss if they vote for a union is intimidation at it’s finest - and that’s literally what the State of Tennessee, Volkswagen and Volkswagen’s union busting consultants did here.

Any legitimate union has an us vs them mentality - because workers and bosses have a fundamental conflict of

I wonder how many lies it took this time to get people to vote against their own interests.

DURRRR UNIONS BAD!!!!!  

Yup; and Jesus, we don’t even care about the proceedings, just start the damn inquiry so you have more leverage to investigate and hold obstructionists like Barr accountable. Why is it so hard for people to wrap their heads around this?

Does everyone get how you’re basically being Trump puppets when you yell at Pelosi because Trump is doing something insane? Get out of this mindless cycle. Blame the abuser.

A lot of those GOP Senators are up for re-election next year, so perhaps applying a little pressure to them might be worth the effort. I mostly agree with you, but the Senate picture for 2020 might provide an alternate path. Any remaining blue- or purple-state Republicans will really need to think carefully about

The GOP when it comes the environment is the “fuck it I’ll be dead” party.

I think you’ve described the AFC South pretty damn accurately.
