ChrisGeorgeBish kent rasmussen zemiron Robert Porter Not being able to buy a Tesla car for a couple of months does not make your quality of life untenable. There are other vehicles you can buy, including EVs. Most new car buyers can wait a little bit before they buy their car. There does seem to be solidarity in the Nordics.

kent rasmussen zemiron Robert Porter I'll be interested to see what public opinion surveys say about it. Obviously any time you engage in a production-halting strike, the customers are not able to buy things. But the question is whether they have a solidaristic spirit about that or not.

Arrive alive. Roads will be busy again today. Buckle up, obey the speed limit, drive sober, and drop the distractions.

zemiron Robert Porter And to enforce the overall labor system of the country. It’s akin to law enforcement except that labor is expected to ensure companies comply with the sector bargaining regime.

Acknowledgement in an employee handbook that the employee will not bring a legal claim against the employer for anything that occurred more than 180 days ago is an unfair labor practice because the NLRA gives you 182 days. Fun stuff.

Stop trying to convince people who are struggling and who are hurting that they have never had it so good and start telling them what we, as a nation, are going to do to fundamentally improve their lives.

the garbage men always find their way into these strikes, something very heartwarming about the total inversion of the power structure

A Minneapolis 14-year-old pickets his own home, claiming that his father, an attorney, does not pay him a fair wage for doing his chores.

The child walks around outside with a sign: β€œThis house is unfair to labor.”
