Biden’s NLRB Brings Workers’ Rights Back From the Dead

  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.

    Just more than ironic.

  Unrelated comment, is it normal for US media or politic discussion to attribute everything to the current president? It’s kind of weird to me as a European because here this is mostly done by oppositional media and even then mostly by right leaning ones to discredit.
