NEW: This Supreme Court case could devastate workers’ right to strike.
If wealthy corporations get their way, companies would be able to sue workers for the cost of a strike — like spoiled food, lost revenue, and more.
It would be a massive setback for the working class.
K, we’re not “striking” we’re “quitting” until you rehire us after meeting our demands. I feel like this doesn’t mean much in a country with at-will employment
Also can someone remind the capitalists that we made labor boards and laws on how strikes operate because the alternative is shooting them in front of their wives and children.
I think their end goal is literally to make employees who quit liable for any costs that the business incurs because of their absence.
At some point they have to, right? They’re going to have to come up with some way that isn’t direct slavery but also people can’t suddenly quit without legal repercussions. Then when that happens the goal is to tighten the repercussions. Then criminalization.
I think it’s only a matter of time before Amazon starts buying housing and revives the company town
