GottaLaff, NYT: A week after losing a hard-fought election at two Mercedes-Benz factories in #Alabama, the United Automobile Workers asked federal officials on Friday to order a new vote, saying the German carmaker violated labor laws to suppress support for the union. #UnionStrong #UAW https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/24/business/uaw-mercedes-benz-nlrb-election.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare
dgar, It’s Monday!! It’s also the three year anniversary of the release of the Mastodon-famous #Dgar song “It’s Always Monday On The Moon”
Written for future moon workers spending long hours doing dangerous work in a lethal environment, my song is about how quickly the enthusiasm for a job like this may disappear quickly due to the isolation and monotonous routine.

ImakeIcecream, @BigAngBlack Give the Repugnicants a few days and hiring minors will be legit!

One Town Grapples With Its Divided #Schools.
70 years after Brown v. Board, Black and white residents, in this #Alabama town say they would like to see their #children schooled together.
But after so long apart, they aren’t sure how to make it happen.

jrefior, "As the federal courts repeatedly ruled against the South’s massive resistance, many white people pivoted to a new tactic, one that is lesser known and yet profoundly influences the Black Belt region today: They created a web of hundreds, perhaps thousands, of private schools to educate white children."

GottaLaff,
12thRITS, @GottaLaff US and state governments don't care about employer union-busting. Germany does.
https://www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2024/05/consequences-around-mercedes-union-busting
Huntn00, @12thRITS @GottaLaff There is simply no way in this Capitalist world where the individual rank and file employee is better off without a union. As part of a union, you actually have some power, some control over your professional work environment, and quality of life, which is only achieved though a collective. Otherwise it’s you against the man and his “sorry we can’t afford that” tendencies. 🤔
dgar, Some songs just don’t sound great through mobile phone speakers.
This is one of those songs.

justdude, Dutch @dgar Intriguing song (on my headset ;) )
The text touches the heart as well as the deep sound
verbrecher, @dgar , amazing track. Liked it.
Nonya_Bidniss, I missed this one. #Alabama Republicans have preemptively banned ranked-choice voting at all levels. Because it would affect the Republican stranglehold on the state (at all levels), of course.

punklawyer, #HannahDreier got a #Pulitzer for her MYT article revealing how child labor laws are being flouted in, among other states, Alabama.
In textile factories, meat plants & roofing companies, immigrant children work in clear violation of the law, & few folks seem that concerned, especially at the #Alabama Attorney General’s office.
Marshall, it seems, is more preoccupied with what’s happening in the Big Apple than who’s working for Fruit of the Loom.

grumble209, @RealJournalism I think the only appropriate response to this is 24/7 monitoring of politicians.
Those fuckers are dangerous.

Jyoti, Hallo! Would you like to hear what White Town sounded like 34 years ago, when we a three-piece indie guitar band?
You would?
Well, today's your lucky day!
Car Park Love Songs gathers the songs that ended up on the early Parasol singles and some other totally un-released rarities.
It's a mix of jangly, twee, shoegaze, grungy and everything else we were listening to back then.
Enjoy!
claus, @Jyoti :awesome:
jess, @Jyoti I think I maybe got a taste of this when you played Long Division in Wakefield a while ago. Thanks for the headsup!
