It's sickening how everything is suddenly "unconstitutional" since the supreme court turned republican.
It's silly how everything has to be according to a 200+ year old document, and how the interpretation of that document is arbitrarily changing at the whim of certain political influences.
The US labor board has existed for 100+ years, and now it's supposedly unconstitutional? Shut up.
A 200+ year old document which was designed and written deliberately to ensure that no one amassed too much power, and is now complicating individuals amassing too much power.
that is not what it was designed to do, I don't know exactly where that little truism started, but that is bullcrap.
it started as a way for a privileged, wealthy minority to make decisions on how to run a nation, and it still is doing that to this day.
Separation of powers was nothing new when the founding fathers axed the articles of confederation and replaced it with the constitution.
then again, if you think the US labor board is "individuals amassing too much power" what do you call the significantly smaller group like the speaker of the house/senate, a position the republicans have used for years to act as a veto stronger than the president by just not bringing up legislation?
Unless you're a bot. And unless I'm a bot. Then those two companies are the only real people. Like embryos. Companies and freezer embryos. Those are the true Americans we need to protect
How would me joining a union help with the Amazon problem? My pay and benefits (and my coworkers' pay and benefits, to the extent of my knowledge) are very good, so we don't currently need a union. My job is completely unrelated to Amazon, and my employer isn't a customer of Amazon or its competitors.
you can support the Amazon workers unions in a multitude of different way, depending on the exact structure, anything from donating a few bucks to the strike fund too righting a letter to your local representatives, or just informing those around yourself to why unions aren't literally the devil
Amazon claims the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is “unconstitutional” in a new legal document filed on Thursday, according to a report from The New York Times.
The e-commerce giant joins the Elon Musk-owned SpaceX in making similar accusations after facing numerous labor complaints from employees.
The company also claims the NLRB’s hearings “can seek legal remedies beyond what’s allowed without a trial by jury” in violation of the Constitution.
Like other government agencies and regulators, the NLRB uses administrative law to carry out investigations and make decisions.
Amazon didn’t immediately respond to The Verge’s request for comment or a copy of the complaint.
Amazon’s arguments are similar to the claims SpaceX made in a lawsuit filed against the NLRB earlier this year.
