Infinite Contempt For Working People Is Not an Acceptable Default Position Judge corporations more harshly.

There exists a general expectation that corporations will fight against unions, and their own employees generally. That expectation lets them off the hook too easily. Companies should suffer for that choice.

The Trump administration ordered 18 government agencies to terminate their collective bargaining agreements and cease union negotiations on Thursday.

The move could strip hundreds of thousands of federal workers of their union protections.

They Are Going to Take Everything If We Don't Stop Them The government is going to destroy unions if we don't fight now.

The worst thing the federal government has done to unions in my lifetime happened last night. The second worst thing was three weeks ago.

The labor movement will either protect ourselves right now or be smashed. That's all there is to it.

The Rich: Tax or Eat?

Musk Donates to G.O.P. Members of Congress Who Support Impeaching Judges Amid a controversy over whether President Trump will abide by court rulings, Elon Musk gave the maximum to the campaigns of Republicans who back ousting judges who impede the administration.

I'm old enough to remember when we called this Bribery: the payment of money in exchange for an official government act

He couldn’t even run a charity without breaking the law—Now he believes he’s in charge of the Supreme Court, Congress, our rights, and the U.S. justice system. Who’s going to stop him?!

Text: UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA GWYNNE A. WILCOX, Plaintiff, v. DONALD J. TRUMP, in his official capacity as President of the United States and MARVIN E. KAPLAN, in his official capacity as Chairman of the National Labor Relations Board, Civil Action No. 25-cv-334 Judge Beryl A. Howell Defendants. ORDER Upon consideration of plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment, ECF No. 10, defendants’ cross motion for summary judgment, ECF No. 23, the legal memoranda in support and in opposition, and the entire record herein, for the reasons set forth in the accompanying Memorandum Opinion, it is hereby-- ORDERED that plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment, ECF No. 10, is GRANTED; it is further ORDERED that defendants’ motion for summary judgment, ECF No. 23, is DENIED; it is further DECLARED that the termination of plaintiff Gwynne A. Wilcox was unlawful, in violation of the National Labor Relations Act, 29 U.S.C. § 153(a), and therefore null and void; it is further…

DECLARED that plaintiff Gwynne A. Wilcox remains a member of the National Labor Relations Board (“NLRB”), having been appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate to a five-year term on September 6, 2023, and she may be removed by the President prior to expiration of her term only “upon notice and hearing, for neglect of duty or malfeasance in office, but for no other cause,” pursuant to 29 U.S.C. § 153(a); it is further ORDERED that plaintiff shall continue to serve as a member of the NLRB until her term expires pursuant to 29 U.S.C. § 153(a), unless she is earlier removed “upon notice and hearing, for neglect of duty or malfeasance in office, ” id.; it is further ORDERED that defendant Mark Kaplan, as well as his subordinates, agents, and employees, are ENJOINED, during plaintiff’s term as a member of the NLRB, from removing plaintiff from her office without cause or in any way treating plaintiff as having been removed from office, from impeding in any way her ability to fulfill her duties as a member of the NLRB, and from denying or obstructing her authority or access to any benefits or resources of her office; it is further ORDERED that defendant Mark Kaplan and his subordinates, agents, and employees provide plaintiff with access to the necessary government facilities and equipment so that she may carry out her duties during her term as a member of the NLRB; and it is further ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court is directed to close this case. SO ORDERED. Date: March 6, 2025 This is a final and appealable order.

BREAKING: the U.S. District Court in D.C. has found that Trump’s firing of former NLRB Chair Gwynne A. Wilcox’s firing was unlawful, and ruled that she must be immediately reinstated to serve out the rest of her term as a board member.

She was appointed and confirmed to a 5-year term in 2023.

Post from NLRB Union: Yesterday, the NLRB’s Buffalo office (Region 3) received word from its landlord that GSA—acting on behalf of DOGE—had unilaterally cancelled the Region’s five-year lease, without any prior notice to the Agency. The Region has been given 90 days to vacate the building.

In 2024, the NLRB filed a complaint against Tesla for interfering in a union drive at their Buffalo, NY assembly plant.

Today:

Screw this guy. Organize!
