All workers should unionize.

You too.

It is always good for the workers, whoever told you it was not was just playing on your ignorance to take advantage of you. I mean you did look at who was bankrolling all those "cons of unionization" articles right?

It's a stepping stone of desperation. When labor reaches the point that they can no longer afford food and rent they have to do something. Historically Unionization was the play that was made in order to make enough to survive on. We are getting worked the fuck over by the corporations, highest profits in 70 years, 70% increase in productivity in the last 40 with a piddly 10% increase in worker pay that is not keeping up with the cost of living increase.

Ya, it's a clear violation, they been getting in trouble for doing it in other states. Our government is just clearly toothless when it comes to correcting the bad behavior.

Sort of, the courts almost always defend a employers right to close up shop. However if they close down one store out of a franchise that is or has recently unionized they can fine them. Starbucks has already gotten hit for doing this in other states, but as I said the penalties for it are fucking trivial.

We can hope. But we are at a weird place where the fines and punishments for union busting are often so light that these big corporations can afford to write it off and continue to exploit labor.

Possiblilty? Maybe, but that was a very busy store.

Heh, I mean, who could have seen that coming? They should dropped it directly on folks that were out of work instead of trusting the owners to do it.

The rage against "quiet quitting" was proof positive that all this "No one wants to work" coming out of the pandemic was nothing more than them trying to short-staffed to save money while making up excuses why they couldn't find help for the consumers.

"Starbucks claims the Middle Street location no longer meets the company's needs."

Those needs being an inability to exploit labor as much as possible... I swear these rich pricks forgot how rough our labor movement was, all of these protections they put into play were not to protect the workers, but the system and capitalists from the people they were screwing over and starving. Shit almost went off the rails here, for a long time the State had the moneys back until they realized it was likely to get all "feed the tree" up in here. They went to great lengths to get rid of civics, whitewash the civil rights movement and remove any, and I mean ANY history of our labor movement in schools. Then the decided to get all the kids in debt by saying they "needed" an advanced education and act surprised when they come back from that, can't find work they went to school for and are saddled with debt, and start using the things they learned in those universities.

This is great, more trade flowing through here the better.

I'd eat it.

Emery's stopped with COVID but I am pretty sure they going to be starting back up again soon.

Those are uh... Something Bub.

They make great gifts for the kids!

We are convinced at this point he is a rabies whisperer...

KAJIT IS INNOCENT! FRAMED BY FOX!

Looks like the west coast when it's all burnt...

No, its fucking stupid. The whole thing is mostly just a peer pressure attempt to get votes and name recognition to some degree. If anything they are a great way to fuck yourself over if you are in business. Come on too Trumpy or tits deep in rad-lib bullshit and I will take my business elsewhere.

They put like 800 million into this midterm, 24 going to be snowing in ads and flyers...

I slept through it.

Hard to get a better price when they are (or were) still a non union shipyard. Assuming this is the one near Mobile the place is huge. That said, all this business they getting might be the thing that gets them a Union, Alabama right to work bullshit or not.

Toot toot! Dats cool.

Sure looks like someone tried to cover it up.
