CORPORATIONS AIM TO DESTROY WORKER POWER THAT CREATED THE MIDDLE CLASS

“Most employers won’t recognize and bargain with unions without the NLRB requiring them to.”

The rich are all part of groups to promote their self-interest.

The donor class is organized into PAC's, DAF's, hedge funds, and various other mutual aid entities - but workers aren't supposed to do the same?

an
‘Openly authoritarian campaign’:

Donald B. Ayer, the deputy attorney general under George H. W. Bush, said:
"Project 2025 seems to be full of a whole array of ideas that are designed to let Donald Trump function as a dictator, by completely eviscerating many of the restraints built into our system.
He really wants to destroy any notion of a rule of law in this country ...
The reports about Donald Trump's Project 2025 suggest that he is now preparing to do a bunch of things totally contrary to the basic values we have always lived by.
If Trump were to be elected and implement some of the ideas he is apparently considering, no one in this country would be safe."

Amazon joins Trader Joe’s, SpaceX in calling the National Labor Relations Board unconstitutional

Nazi's are mainstream again. Now, they are trying to reboot the Gilded Ages. How far back do these people want to take society. The Ice Age?

“Since they can’t defeat successful union organizing, they now want to just destroy the whole process," said an attorney representing the Amazon Labor Union. .

So let me get this straight...

Billionaires are allowed to join organizations that subvert democracy for the wealthy.

  1. Council for National Policy

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Council_for_National_Policy

  1. American Legislative Exchange Council

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Legislative_Exchange_Council

  1. Koch Network
    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koch_network

  2. International "Democracy" Union

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Democracy_Union

However, regular people aren't allowed to organize?

Seems somewhat unfair, don't you think?

Nikki Haley is still vehemently anti-union.

"Haley rattled off her accomplishments as governor of South Carolina, which included helping drive down statewide unionization rates to the lowest in the country after she courted nonunion auto-factory installations from BMW and Nissan. “I didn’t allow unions in our state. I was a union buster, and that’s something I was very adamant about,” she said."

Her donors organize , , but not workers?!?

Videos show closed-door sessions of leading conservative activists:
‘Be not afraid of the accusations that you’re a voter suppressor’

The Council for National Policy (CNP) is a little-known group that has served for decades as a hub for a nationwide network of conservative activists and the donors who support them.

Members include Ginni Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, and Leonard Leo, an outside adviser to President Trump who has helped raise hundreds of millions of dollars from undisclosed donors to support conservative causes and the nominations of conservative federal judges. Videos provided to The Post — covering dozens of hours of CNP meetings over three days in February 2020 and three in August 2020 — offer an inside view of participants’ obsessions and fears at a pivotal moment in the conservative movement.

The videos, recorded by CNP to share with its members, show influential activists discussing election tactics, amplifying conspiracy theories and describing much of America in dark and apocalyptic terms

Republicans Are Systematically Blocking Cities’ Ability to Protect Abortion
One year after the Supreme Court killed the constitutional right to abortion, state preemption laws are on the rise
