My knee swells up. Highfive, we’re old.

Its not just liability, its that the laws apply to what you say to YOUR workers. So a union buster can say whatever they want because they are not the employer.

Unions then have to spend $$ on lawyers making arguments before the National Labor Relations Board that the union busters were acting as agents of the employer to violate the law. If that sticks, it is still the company that is held liable, usually through having to hold a fresh election. The union busters move on to another company collecting 5 and six figure checks for attending a few meetings to lie to the employees. Scum.

How do you get out of bed in the morning when that’s the “work” you do. Lying to hard working people trying to better themselves

In Revelation, first comes the Antichrist, the Beast from the Sea (mar a lago anyone?) he is given the power and authority of Satan. The whole world marvels at him and worships him. He speaks blasphemy and makes war against the saints.

Next comes the False Prophet, the Beast from the Earth. He uses the image of the Antichrist to control the world. He is granted power to cause the image of the antichrist to speak, and command all who will not worship the antichrist to be killed. He calls down fire from heaven. He forces all the people of earth to wear a mark of the antichrist on their forehead or hand to buy and sell.

Revelation 13 if you’re interested in the epic sci fi novel at the very end of the Bible. Got me through many hours of church.

I do know the answer to this. In the US, the process goes roughly so:

Workers want to form a union. Workers sign authorization cards allowing a specific union to represent them. The union approaches the company and says, we have enough of your workers who want to join, (50% +1) will you voluntarily recognize that your workers have formed a union.

At this point it can go a few ways. The company can demand proof that there are 50%+1 workers authorizing the union to rep them. A neutral 3rd party will inspect the cards and attest this to the National Labor Relations Board office in that state. Like a public notary or professional witness. This protects the anonymity of the workers.

The company can immediately, or following this process recognize the union. They can go to the bargaining table and strike a deal with the workers, or enroll with the union under the area agreement and get the workers signed up.

The company can refuse, like wikimedia did, and demand it go to an election. A date is set and the workers come in to vote by anonymous ballot wether to be represented by the union.

If the company is some real shitheels they’ll start dumping $$ into discouraging the workers from voting yes. They hire a union buster and hold captive audience meetings. The union buster tells the workers any kind of lies and bullshit they want, they are a 3rd party and therefore not liable for the bullshit they spout. They say the company will go bankrupt. The company can’t afford to have union workers. Unions are corrupt and suck you dry with dues and don’t deliver a better life for you and your family. Etc.

Companies frequently violate labor law during this time period. They give raises and benefits to anti-union workers. They fire union supporters (they will owe these workers back wages later). They lie to their workers, threaten the workers, intimidate the workers. Often this corrupts the election process and if the election fails, it can be overturned and repeated because of the illegal practices of the company and union busters. Their goal is to wear out and drive away pro-union workers by dragging the process on indefinately. When you see pickets, this is often what the picket is about. Informing the public that the company is mistreating the workers violating their right to form a union.

Wikimedia are some real shitheels.

Fire up the natural gas generators, this baby isn’t grid tied yet!

Good question, if you’ve turned out already you did not grow up with the intense constant social media environment. I haven’t seen anyone mention kids filming each other in school with the associated prank culture and social judgements. Remove that from the learning environment.

Texting is not the problem, it’s addictive apps and the fact that they are filming and posting each others childhoods. I’m too old to understand how that can be made right.

I actually have hope gen z and gen alpha will have constructive ideas how to moderate these forces while retaining what is beneficial, like connection to friends (texting).

Ok I’m laughing my ass off over here. You impregnated this woman multiple times but now you’re mad she won’t open the relationship?

So you never did any of these things you say are foundational…before having multiple children together lol.

Ok well, you’re cooked because the 1 circumstance where monogamy would be preferable for a sexually adventurous woman is…drumroll…postpartum trying to survive raising babies. She can probably hardly deal with your ass right now much less other men or your relationship dreams.

Go take care of your kids. You will pass go again in , at most, 18 years or upon the breakup with your baby mama.

Thank you for being there with our elders during such a horrifying time. If not for brave people like you they would have been alone.

All shits, no giggles. >:(

More like, yay someone finally arrested these known human traffickers! Distopian part: and they’ve been selling online coursework how to pimp and abuse women for a decade. Many young men think its fantastic stuff. The US has embraced them as successful buisness men and examples. Meanwhile 2 other nations have tried to make the law stick to these rotten potatoes.

Or! Last 5 books they read.

That’s because you’re old. Like prob an older millenial or genx. Me too, I just roll with the times baby. Nothing wrong with youngsters recycling fashions of yore!

You seen a kid in junco jeans yet, now that is a goddamn trip.

I see you haven’t hung around a military base recently. These teenagers and early 20s all got 1970s staches. Mustaches are back, baby!

Surely this is satire.

Elections are 4 months away my friend, November 3rd. Congress has the power to investigate, impeach, convict, and the power of the purse to stop all this shit. We have a Trump-supporting congress. Throw those bums out.

If you care enough to want change you MUST care enough to start voting in the rest of the elections, down to state and local. That’s where these fascists gain a foothold in the first place.

Amazing!

I appreciate the inclusivity.

And what would everyone be using these terms to describe?

Pooping? Being tough on crime? Solving a problem? Bullying delinquent children? Or maybe finishing a difficult piece of work.

Cool beans.
