Big company uses union busting.

This is not a new story.

And it sucks that they can usually get away with it so often.

These laws are intentionally toothless. Google will eat the fines and the feds can pretend they won something.

Nothing will change until we start imprisoning executives who break the law.

If the law is refusing to go after these people, why hope for imprisonment?

Remember last time it took workers taking bosses hostage or worse to get results.

That sucks. Not surprising, though. I hope the NRLB will fix their broken complain process. Right now, enforcement takes so long it’s a joke.

Maybe a downvote from their instance didn’t federate properly? I don’t see a downvote either.
