Summary

The incoming Trump administration is expected to transform the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) into a pro-business agency, reversing pro-worker decisions made during Biden’s presidency.

Anticipated changes include firing pro-labor officials like General Counsel Jennifer Abruzzo and overturning rulings that bolstered unionization efforts, such as limits on “captive audience meetings,” quicker union elections, and protections for workers’ heated speech.

Legal challenges from companies like Amazon and SpaceX aim to strip the NLRB of its authority entirely, while Trump’s alignment with figures like Elon Musk signals intensified opposition to unions and labor rights.

    You’d have to be a complete imbecile to think Republicans or conservatives would ever benefit your union. Like checks notes Trump voters.

    We need an app to organize wildcat strikes without leaders. Ditching work isn’t a crime and they’re taking away our protections anyways.

    Go ahead, make us slaves. All of us. You spent the better half of the last decade turning the rubes rabid. Your own fostered hate will consume you.

      when the rubes went maga, the urbanites became blue-maga and both combined unwittingly walked us towards this this oligarchical descent and will walk us further into it 2026 and/or 2028.

      place blame where it’s due: on americans who refuse to learn that this is the natural progression of all capitalists systems and that it takes true collective action to prevent it; not people who “don’t like politics” nor simply donations/votes to a party.

        Democrats are rubes, too. Anyone who couldn’t guess where Citizens United would take us is a rube. This country is built on the backs of rubes who thought they were guiding billionaire cock toward the hole they wanted it to fuck.

    The leadership probably knows; I wonder if all those in the trenches (that supported donvict, because “manliness” or whatever) do.

    The labor board is the compromise position, the alternative is the Haymarket affair.

    Workers can cooperate whether they officially have a union or not.

    “Pay us the raise you know we due or you can replace all of us”.
