In a party-line decision in Cemex Construction Materials Pacific, LLC, the Board ruled that when a majority of a company’s employees file union affiliation cards, the employer can either voluntarily recognize their union or, if not, ask the Board to run a union recognition election. If, in the run-up to or during that election, the employer commits an unfair labor practice, such as illegally firing pro-union workers (which has become routine in nearly every such election over the past 40 years, as the penalties have been negligible), the Board will order the employer to recognize the union and enter forthwith into bargaining.
Woah. That’s exciting. Union busting can automatically create a union. That’s… ironic. And beautiful.
It’s motherfucking justice for workers at lastis what it is! ✊️
Btw, it was a great choice by Biden to appoint her, but Lauren McFerran and the rest of the agency should really be getting the credit and headlines, not the guy who has otherwise been on the side of corporations!
That’s where you’re wrong. If you (continue to) give them credit, votes, and lots of money just for not being utterly heinous fascists, they have no incentive to ever become actually GOOD.
The lesser evil is still evil and lowering the bar every time the worst get worse is a recipe for stagnation at best.
“Asshole governor who once rigged his own election by disenfranchising hundreds of thousands of black voters across the state of GA, has once again taken advantage of his political position for personal gain.”
Interesting that credit unions are playing a role here. I assumed credit unions were the consumer friendly side of banking, I guess nothing is ever as black and white as we would like.
With the payment pause, student debt has effectively been cancelled for the last three years (and would you look at that, the world didn’t end…), so I’m very curious to find out how the economy will be impacted by millions of borrowers having their payments resume without relief (thanks SCOTUS!). My financial situation will go from “meh I’m in okay shape” to “I can’t afford anything anymore” overnight, so I won’t be participating in the economy nearly as much as I have been for the last three years.
FBI, DHS, HHS, and Justice Department: Ok, thanks for that. I’ve noted it. Now excuse me I have to talk to the FBI, DHS, HHS, and Justice Department. Bye.
