The government’s “eyebrow-raising” penchant for breaking up strikes met its match in the woman-dominated workforce
Our national union leadership should link our contract struggle to the struggle against DOGE’s reckless campaign to smash parts of the federal government that working people rely on.
Glacier v. Teamsters was not a crisis averted but another step in the right’s plan to stifle labor power.
With Glacier, eight justices sabotaged the most powerful weapon unions have: the strike.
The ruling means Glacier Northwest Inc. can sue over its claim that wet concrete loaded onto trucks was rendered useless after workers walked off the job.
Nothing in the NLRA, however, requires a union to agree to a no-strike clause. Moreover, because a no-strike clause is a mandatory subject of bargaining, the union may strike to keep it out of the contract.
A case argued this week could give worker-phobic Republican justices a chance to force workers to stay on the job.
Even without a union, you have the legal right to organize strikes, job actions, and various protests—and your employer is banned from retaliating against you.
It’s never good when people who spend their entire professional lives studying the subject say you fucked up.
