Besides waiting on congress and state legislatures, do you think there is a way at a grass roots level to counter captive meetings? Like email everyone who is victim to a meeting and share the truth about unions? Also how much money do companies like amazon and Starbucks spend to fight unionization? Thag always blows me away. And also costco pays their workers a decent wage so theres less turnover. Why cant other companies follow suit? Isn’t high turnover incredibly expensive?
It's always fun to remember that Barack Obama had almost two years of a filibuster-proof Democratic Senate and a huge majority in the house, and that asshole spent every ounce of political capital he had getting the Mitt Romney/Heritage Foundation health care plan established nationally. Not card check, not a minimum wage hike, not universal single-payer or a public option, not codifying Roe, not a single fucking thing that would have given workers power and agency. And here we are.
Conservatives would prefer to absolutely dominate a poorer society than have slightly less power in a more equitable but wealthier society.
