One of your best pieces ever Hamilton! Thank you! The UAW once managed to get a contract 13 years after they won union recognition - due to the very stall tactics you describe. And that was before the corporate assault on the NLRB and the recent Supreme Court Chevron decision. It is unlikely that workers in most places like Amazon can hold out for that long - which is exactly capital's strategy. If Harris/Walz win and get a supportive congress nothing should be more important than reforming labor law to give workers a fair opportunity to form or join a union. Neither Carter, Clinton nor Obama understood how important unions are to protecting democracy.
Thanks Sue. Yeah the PRO Act would go a long way towards fixing this but will never pass with the filibuster in place. So dems need to kill the filibuster. Also they have to win a trifecta, which they won't. But next time they do!
