Seems to me that the biggest threat is corporate money and influence.
This is so repugnant that SCOTUS would even have the ability to do this. Weapons manufacturers have more rights than we do.
Absolutely. This is collective bargaining 101. Look at the historic UAW strike of 2023 and what they asked for at the start. Discounting that it was the first trilateral strike against the big three automakers union history, they asked for an historic amount of benefits and workplace changes.
-46% pay increase over contract duration
-Restoration of pension
-Retiree healthcare
-Healthcare benefits for all
-Cost of living adjustments
-End to the wage tiers system that divides the laborers into different “classes” of workers
-32-hour workweek with no loss in pay
If you don’t go for audacious, you will get far less than you need.
They got:
-25% pay increase in wages over the 4.5 year contract, 11% at outset
-Cost of living adjustments
-$5k bonus
-Elimination of the tiered wage system (Fucking huge)
If they never went to bat for the audacious, they never would have gotten the tiered system removed. Now they have far more solidarity and collective bargaining power for the next negotiation. All because of audacious demands and striking unilaterally across the big three.
This is just one contract negotiation and strike. Much work to still be done.
They asked for 77% pay raises over 6 years and negotiated for 62%. This is a decent deal. Any victory for labor is a victory for all our us. Sure there is still a lot of work to be done, but this is a win.
Congrats to the longshoremen!
Yeah that’ll fix it’s completely broken search.

Fuck Judge Schelp. What a monster.
Yeah, I have a native prairie instead of a lawn, even though it is not that big. My city likes to cite native yards, especially in the fall and winter.
I love my yard and the pollinators and vertebrates love it too! Butterflies, bees, birds, bats, fireflies, snakes etc etc. It is good to see them thrive in this little space.
Businesses with a religious dogma that makes victims out of people for needing healthcare.
Ahh, time is collapsing on me. My bad.
Sea of Stars is a turn based RPG that came out this last year. It is a modern homage to Chrono Trigger and it is great. Highly rec.
Hospitals should not be owned religious institutions. Here is a general reminder to anyone who has a Primary Care at a Catholic or Christian hospital. If you have an alternative hospital that supports the full spectrum of reproductive health, then leave the religious zealot hospital and tell them why.
Israel meanwhile conscripts most Israeli men and women for compulsory military service to further expand the borders of Israel without consideration for those who already live there. pot:kettle
But, but the tie is red.
The C Suite and Board at each company care far more about their yearly bonuses and dividends than you earning a livelihood and working a safe job. Unionize. Solidarity against wealth hoarders.
Turn out the lights y’all, talk to your neighbors about their exterior lighting, call your electric companies and ask them to put diffusers on those bright led street lamps, and talk to your electeds. The night and its creatures deserve their time of day. Climate change is exacerbating everything, but we can try to make it more liveable for the night dwellers.
Yeah, we all know that. It is still broken.
