The court (and Amazon etc.) need to be made to understand that the alternative to the NLRB is that the workers strike anyway, violently.
Edit: I accidentally some words.
It isn’t the workers who bring the violence. The police work for the capitalist class, and their true purpose is to break strikes by any means necessary. History of union busting in the United States
I've said it before... total free market rule is a great solution, as long as you're also ok with occasional uprisings where the masses go around beheading the corrupt. As far as I'm concerned... that is a market force.
Alternately, we can have government protections and labor organizations. I feel like that usually works better.
