The new ruling forces employers found interfering with a union election to immediately recognize the union without a new election.

I would honestly love a rule banning the submission of articles that use the "slammed/blasted" headline.

Political Group A FUCKING SUPLEXES Political Group B, Follows Up With a FIGURE FOUR LEG LOCK on Policy Debate. PEOPLE'S ELBOW At Eleven!

Put it in an instance meta, it's just off topic in this post

Establishing strong, functional unions should be priority number one for US citizens.

labor law enforcement should be priority number one, without it, busting works perfectly

[Cemex Co.] "threatened, harassed, surveilled, intimidated and deceived its own workers with rampant illegality in order to disrupt their union organizing campaign. . ."

. . . "Hired security guards to stand outside of the voting locations as a form of suppression. We look forward to this process playing out again, this time without terrorization or chicanery, just like it should have in the first place.”

- Bubba Davis, Director of the Teamsters Building Materials and Construction Trade Division (Teamsters vs Cemex Ruling)

No one in the U.S. will have to go through this again. Not Amazon workers who sat through long seminars with think tank lawyers, not Starbucks workers who had their stores pulled out from under them. The safety in forming a union has been greatly increased.

stop "slamming", start charging with crimes, and fining in the billions, everything short of that is fucking bullshit. "slams"? who gives a fuck who slams who for what? accountability is all that matter, keep your pronouncements and denouncements and nonsense meaningless slams.

This is a pretty damn good slam. It's not fines or jail time but this gives the unions the result they want, so seems like a great ruling to me.

[-] cloaker@kbin.social 3 points 10 months ago

Actually read the article this is great.

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@kbin.social 3 points 10 months ago

Read the article (or at least the body text of the post).

[-] Kbobabob@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Everybody slamming everything

I know right? It’s like a title to a porn video. Always makes me chuckle.
