No surprise in that. Was 4/4 before Gorsuch. Iā€™m surprised the Unions donā€™t seek the option to leave the non-paying or non-member folks flat. Sue to leave them on their own. Thatā€™s the only option left.

I hate these mofos with every breath I take. They are not ā€˜making America great againā€™ they are destroying what made America great.

Not to them. Do you think Gorsuch seeā€™s America with working class eyes? Heā€™s been in a protected, government funded, class all his life. Heā€™s making the America he cares about better. Not the one the rest of us live in. Trump the same. As long as stupidity, and thatā€™s what it is, has a majority in the EC we live this.

This just about finishes the job of making sure that American is irreversibly a plutocracy headed towards right-wing fascism and unavoidable violence. Sharpen your pitchforks and buy your guns now, folks. Youā€™re gonna need 'em.

The silver lining of unintended consequences. CONservatives have traded a short term gain for the long term prospects of militant unions, non-exclusive representation, unions competing in the same workplace and unions shutting freeloaders out in the cold rather than representing them for free. Labor peace and no-strike clauses are now a thing of the past. Let the Workplace Wars begin!

So workers can decline to pay union fees, and yet they still expect to receive the salary and benefit gains negotiated between management and the union reps.
This must be Trumpā€™s interpretation of ā€œfairnessā€.

This Court will just decide 5-4 that the unions must represent everyone or nobody and that anyone who doesnā€™t want to pay doesnā€™t have toā€¦and that employers cannot treat union and non-union members any differently in terms of wages and benefits etc., such that the free loading Republican scabs can get all the benefits without any of the contribution. There will be no parity. This is by design. This was too tempting a Dem funding target for them to resist and their plutocrat masters would have had their fucking heads if they had ruled in any other manner. The ONLY solution left is comingā€¦maybe not in your lifetime or mine, but weā€™re on the tracks and gaining speed rapidly.

Whatā€™s the old saying: ā€œWhen Democrats form a firing squad, they stand in a circleā€?

Iā€™m sure somewhere right now, thereā€™s a * supporter in a unionized workplace saying, ā€œWhat did a union ever do for anybody anyway?ā€

Yep. And heā€™s about to find outā€¦then watch Faux News and come out the other end blaming the Dems for his misfortunes.

A nationwide strike should happen, but probably wonā€™t. Thatā€™s by design too. Itā€™s precisely why they spend so much effort making sure you live in debt and are only paid barely enough to service it.

Next: Employees are being denied the freedom to be injured on the job, ergo OSHA is unconstitutional.

ā€œā€œBig loss for the coffers of the Democrats!ā€ Trump said in a tweet.ā€

As if he actually has the word coffers in his lexicon.

Most of his posting looks to be by proxy again.
