After representing unions in a number of federal and state labor board trials, I am proud to be admitted to the Trial Bar of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.

Plyler v. Doe, 457 U.S. 202 (1982) Plyler v. Doe: A state cannot prevent children of undocumented immigrants from attending public school unless a substantial state interest is involved.

Sounds like they’re trying to overturn Plyler v. Doe. Just awful.

No due process means he decides your guilt or innocence. Not the courts. Not a judge or a jury.

No longer will you be deemed innocent until PROVEN guilty.

You’ll be declared guilty and snatched off the streets with no recourse.

Is the wisdom of the Constitution kicking in yet?

A strong trade union movement improves the standard of living for all people.

There is a reason why we are the only major country not to guarantee health care for all or have paid family and medical leave.

We must grow the trade union movement in the United States.

Why do people keep caving to this asshole? It’s a painting in a state capitol. Either tell him to go fuck himself or replace it with an even more unflattering painting.

Editorial: Latest worry for Chicagoans is electrocuted dogs A dog should be able to walk the streets of Chicago without fear of electrocution.

From the Editorial Board:

In a city filled with dog lovers, this whole troubling business is worthy of some serious citywide examination and mitigation by Commonwealth Edison, the city of Chicago and private building owners.

Trump Sticks It To Unions By Tapping Anti-Union Advocate To Run Labor Agency Elisabeth Messenger, former CEO of Americans for Fair Treatment, would be tasked with making sure anti-union consultants disclose their work.

Trump plans to put a former anti-union group leader in charge of the Labor-Management Standards office.

Elisabeth Messenger, who promoted right-to-work laws in her former job, would oversee disclosures by unions and union-busting consultants.

The word around Highland Park for years - long before the shooting - was that his mother was certifiably nuts.

When a man sexually assaulted two 15 year old girls, Brad Schimel gave him a cushy plea deal, and then blamed the victims.

This misogynistic scumbag can’t be let anywhere near a seat on SCOWIS.

Do your thing Wisconsin.

The NH House just defeated Right to Work by a vote of 200-180. A huge victory for working people in NH . When we stand together, we win. @aftunion.bsky.social

She should not get a single Democratic vote. No one should believe a word she says.

She’s right. Humphrey’s Executor v. United States has protected board members of independent federal agencies from removal without cause and a hearing - including members of the National Labor Relations Board - since 1935. Trump is violating the law. Good on Weintraub for taking a bold stand.
