They can fire people. They just have to document warnings, etc. it usually only takes three, but management is frequently too damn lazy to do it. The bottom line is that no company/corporation wants to have to (god forbid) justify its managerial actions to its employees. They perceive it as giving up too much control.
back when the democrats were also the party of southern racists, at least they got the benefit of the democrats looking out for them. now the racists are in the party of the oligarchs so instead of a party that tolerates your racism and fights for your rights, you get a party that loves your racism and lets you be a dick about abortion. nice trade guys
I think that dovetailed nicely with Japanese management ideas, how convenient. At least I hope it brought some money into the region. Tho not as much as it could have. Can you imagine Japanese bosses negotiating with workers? 'You cannot rest! Excuse me! No rest!'Don't get after me, this is what they say in factories in the East, once your shift has started.
Most states were. Then conservatives starting pushing right to work (for less) laws and Saint Reagan turned the Labor Relations Board into the union busting board.
Makes you wonder if the feds are also working in the other direction: taking the phones from the rioters they arrested and see if any of them were receiving texts from members of Congress.
There are many things I love about my job, and many people, too. What I don't appreciate is that the company is fighting the union (to which plenty of employees belong) to keep us PNs out. I want in, and so do the great majority of my fellows.
There are precedents forbidding employers to pay workers to not show up to the union vote. While they technically wouldn't be "workers" if they quit, this seems so analogous to a bribe not to show up for the vote that it's hard to imagine a Biden LRB finding it a legal tactic.
That said, I don't know the state of the LRB & I don't know how long it takes a new president to get their own people on the board.
And it works, I bet.

Are you sure he isn't trying to make our past president look bad? You know he's such a goody-goody.
Bezos is saving his money to build an O’Neill cylinder so he and the other billionaires can abandon Earth while the rest of us burn.

I'd also be interested in seeing their phone records for the preceding week.
And, like you said at first, they perceive as too much damn work!
I guess it's cheaper than the Walmart strategy of closing a location that chooses to unionize and opening a new one a block away
I forgot about Sundays at 1.5X!
I work at a fulfillment center and we just got the same notice.
