    Or our right wing Supreme Court could allow them to get away with it.

      If you mean SCOTUS, I am not sure they have jurisdiction.

        Not yet, but they can try to appeal to federal courts. The courts decide if there’s a matter worth considering at the federal level.

        SCOTUS is more pro-corporation and anti-worker than it is anti-women, thanks to the Federalist Society shills.

        Oh who knows if this court rules against it, can’t take it to the higher court?

    Corporations have no business (ha ha) writing labor laws because companies and Labor have completely opposite goals. If your union is letting the company write your union’s bylaws, then you have a weak (probably non-existent) union.

    They could. But they are so easily bought that Uber will just throw them like $5k and they’ll bend over backwards for them.

      “free Ubers for life”.
      Absolute bargain to get your own laws
