Can Elon Musk, worth $180 billion, Jeff Bezos, worth $114 billion, Starbucks and Trader Joe’s stop labor?
At this time there is a resurgence in the labor movement in the U.S. and Musk and Bezos, with support from Starbucks and Trader Joe’s. Together they are trying to get a case before the U.S. Supreme Court that would eliminate the National Labor Relations Board, which was established in 1935, because they say it it is unconstitutional as it mixes audial and executive functions.
They are counting on Justice Samuel Alito, an anti-union zealot who makes no secret of his determination to over turn protections for workers and then unions, will fight on their behalf.
This would be the second time that the rich people tried to eliminate the NLRB in 1937, but in those days, the Supreme Court followed the law, not like today.
If they succeed they would or could kill the labor movement in the U.S. This is why the Democrats must win the 2024 election for the president, the House and the Senate.
If we lose in the U.S. Supreme Court, the only way to get the National Labor Relations Board back would be to have control in the presidency, House and Senate.
If we don’t win, this election the billionaires will own us and our country will be Lords and peasants where mega billionaires own us and Trump will have complete immunity to do whatever he wants—what could possibly go wrong?
Remember, the GOP is the party of the boss, and the boss likes low wages, no work safety, and no work breaks. If Kentucky gets its way, it will take away the lunch break and ban wages above the state wage of $7.25.
The GOP wants to control our bodies and souls. And they won’t stop until they do. If they win, we lose.
Leonard Leo, chairman of the board of directors of the Federalist Society, a lawyer and conservative activist, lists his wealth as $5 million; however, he gave $1.6 billion to buy the Supreme Court and he did this for the GOP billionaires, who now own the Supreme Court that Trump built.
Unions’ long game is to get all union contracts to expire on the same day nationwide. The United Auto Workers combines contracts ends on April 28, 2028. This could then result in a mass national strike starting on May Day beeginning that year. This could then put enormous pressure on employers, but also on lawmakers. It’s the muscle and sweat of the workers that keeps this country great, not the individual company or corporations. This May Day strike would be the time to change the workers’ world for the better by negotiating for a 32-hour week with the same pay, and the U.S. adopts a healthcare for all with no out of pocket costs. This would also help the employers as they would no longer have to provide healthcare. By striking, the UAW won same pay for new workers, all UAW contracts will end on the same date, a 25-percent pay increase, a cost of living adjustments, a guaranteed right to strike over potential plant closures, and also the right to vote to unionize through the card che
