A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

I am a member of a union that predates the NLRB. And it will continue even if its gone. Unions did strikes when they were illegal. The law just makes strikes more peaceful, which is generally better for everyone involved, but it's not essential.

Yep! Peaceful legal strikes are a privilege that our ruling class currently benefits from. Everyone is better off if the ruling class remembers that.

Civil unrest needs outlets. Legal ones are a great tool.
