Just more than ironic.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Comment on Biden’s NLRB Brings Workers’ Rights Back From the Dead
OwenEverbinde@lemmy.myserv.one 10 months ago
In a party-line decision in Cemex Construction Materials Pacific, LLC, the Board ruled that when a majority of a company’s employees file union affiliation cards, the employer can either voluntarily recognize their union or, if not, ask the Board to run a union recognition election. If, in the run-up to or during that election, the employer commits an unfair labor practice, such as illegally firing pro-union workers (which has become routine in nearly every such election over the past 40 years, as the penalties have been negligible), the Board will order the employer to recognize the union and enter forthwith into bargaining.
Woah. That’s exciting. Union busting can automatically create a union. That’s… ironic. And beautiful.

It’s motherfucking justice for workers at lastis what it is! ✊️
Btw, it was a great choice by Biden to appoint her, but Lauren McFerran and the rest of the agency should really be getting the credit and headlines, not the guy who has otherwise been on the side of corporations!

Considering it was a “party-line decision.” I think Biden and the Democrats might deserve some credit just for not being Republicans.

That’s where you’re wrong. If you (continue to) give them credit, votes, and lots of money just for not being utterly heinous fascists, they have no incentive to ever become actually GOOD.
The lesser evil is still evil and lowering the bar every time the worst get worse is a recipe for stagnation at best.

And all of that will matter as soon as we have ranked choice voting. While we’re stuck with FPTP, the best we can do is slam the primaries.
