Let me join

Tbh while this is kinda scary, I do think it will lead to people becoming more militant/radicalized as the other comrade replied.

There was someone on r/union who mentioned that his MAGA coworkers thought that the tariffs would increase their work, but instead they are facing layoffs and work stoppages they stopped wearing the or trump hats and are taking off their bumper stickers. Kinda gives me hope that more people will come over to the commie side. Or they just become more fascist I guess

The workers have done it before and they'll do it again. The only problem is life has to be míserable for them to start doing that again, so suffering will be guaranteed to go up first

Union guys named Mario have the opportunity to do something really funny.

doesn't work

Literally lol. Perhaps this can be a positive for workers; less red tape, more opportunity for militant action

Gaza is a laboratory for our future

I have lost any faith in liberals not to justify the most heinous shit as long as a (D) is in the White House. They've proven willing to excuse a literal genocide. There is no bar too low.

People used to say "Jakarta is coming"

These days it's more like "Gaza is coming"

The bigger issue is that unions have let this shit slide for he last seventy years without offering even the most meager resistance to it.

To be fair, unions were targeted by COINTELPRO and its offshoots. You had literal feds infiltrating unions to do ghoul shit. And the unions not targeted by the FBI were targeted by the mafia and Pinkertons.

Anyone who had the backbone to show solidarity was either killed or imprisoned. Employers used both legal and illegal methods of destroying unions with impunity.

The bigger issue is that the unions have let this shit slide for he last seventy years without offering even the most meager resistance to it. It's almost as if they want to be stamped out of existence.

Hard agree. I was one of the main organizers for my union struggle and the local we chose was worse than useless and kinda made me antiunion. At least in the way where I want wildcats and general strikes and actual direct action from the workers

Hmm I don't really know about that. I think regardless of union representation, within the NLRB or not, the boss is gonna do what the boss is gonna do. I think laborers with specialized skill sets will always have more power. Service workers who are represented by a union under the NLRB often still get laid off, replaced, retaliated against regardless of what the "rules" are, and in my experience are restrained by their local because if your local is yellow they will go to any lengths to keep you from striking or being militant and they might even hurt you at the bargaining table. Even with the NLRB you can only strike for two reasons, the vote takes months to process, work stoppages are not allowed, etc. So I think it can be equally harmful to any worker, but that all depends on the unions willingness to get rowdy.

I fear the NLRB being dismantled because most workers in the US are not at a stage where they are willing to put the work in to organize and be militant. They want all that work done for them, so I feel like unions would all but dissolve without the apparatus we have now. People will just shrug their shoulders when theirs goes away, so at least with the shitty system we have now there is some sort of shield and protections if your local cares about you, anyway
