How can they bust unions like that and just getting told to reopen? Let them pay the yearly income of these stores as a fine to the unions fund instead!
The NLRB General Counsel is seeking an order for offers of re-employment for affected employees and reimbursement for loss of pay, along with the stores reopening for business.
The goal is that they reopen with the same unionized employees, plus back pay. That would be a huge win for the union.
That is not a win in my view. That only means that they have to pay what they had to pay anyway the store were open. That’s like literally no fine. It was worth it for them to try to close the store. At worst they need to reopen the store and continue. What is the backpay of the baristas? 4 worker each 30k/year? That does not hurt them. And you know this because they just did it and will do it again. Where is the fine that hurts so much, that they do not dare to try to bust other locations again and again? The fact that they continue this behavior tells you everything you need to know.
Except they were generating zero revenue during the time they were closed. That is pretty close to a fine.
I do also think they should be fined for preventing a union from forming, but having them pay back wages would be more of a fine than most places would be fined because there are basically no penalties for this kind of behavior.
Is it legal in the US to store your guns in a nightstand or something? That’s insane.
Even so, that’s just irresponsible. It’s my duty to make sure nobody has access to my guns except if I personally give them access, after making sure they know how to handle them safely. Also, very illegal in my country, they check safe storage and if you don’t stick to it, you’ll lose your gun licence quickly.

Sadly, the protection of the 2nd Amendment by the Republican Party is a result of fear and perceived loss of control because of a rapidly changing and diversifying America and of those that intimidate and scare others into their way of thinking.
One state has strict gun lock/storage laws (Mass), a few others have laws requiring you to keep them away from minors and prohibited persons, but the majority do not. I’m guilty of haphazardly tossing mine in the nightstand. But I’m also the only human allowed in the house, not too worried about the cats getting ahold of one.

Don’t restrict my freedom
“Even so, that’s just irresponsible. It’s my duty to make sure nobody has access to my guns except if I personally give them access, after making sure they know how to handle them safely.”
This is the proper way everyone should be thinking. Just don’t force it upon people
At this rate, we're going to have a government shutdown in November when the temporary funding expires, but the GOP won't have anyone to blame but themselves. Now, if only their voters will see that...
It's frustrating when only one party cares about reality and consequences. Anyone still voting Republican must be either incredibly ignorant, (they believe the GOP leadership when they openly lie,) or malevolent, (they are aware of what they are doing, implementing christofascism, trying to end democracy, and they like it.)
