The mistake is operating within the nlrb framework. The UAW didn't win in the 30s by asking the government to recognize them and if the 2000 or so people that voted for a union in that plant acted like they were a union rather than waiting for the bourgeoisie to pat them on the head and give their approval Mercedes would be at the bargaining table with them right now.

Do you have a contract? If so that's where the rules about when you can leave and the disciplinary process would be outlined. From there contact your steward and file a grievance (assuming that's how your contract is set up).

If you don't have a contract or you clearly violated it then you gotta get your coworkers to fight for you on the floor.

Depending on what union you're a member of they might help you find work but that's something to ask your steward or union rep.

While the reactionaries in the state undoubtedly relish in the timidity of the left and might contribute to it, the liberalism comes from a left that has never tried to seriously confront the forces of the bourgeoisie. Instead the they sit submerged in their own ideology of pacifism and reformism.

They can believe whatever they want if they never have to use it to change the world.

@Frank@hexbear.net in regards to the flight attendants striking Ianal but usually rank and file strikers only get fired which they'd otherwise be protected from in a "legal" strike though they maybe could face other punishment. Union leadership would be much more likely to face fines or imprisonment and the union as an organization would also likely be fined and could be held liable for the company's lost revenue. It all kinda depends on the court that declares the strike illegal though

Actually not letting flight attendants strike is a good thing. He's the most pro-labor president ever. maybe-later-kiddo

The translators of the English version of the text had approached Verso asking to publish it with them since Verso has published other works by Losurdo. The translators were rudely rebuked by Verso and I think this "joke" was a petty continuation of that.

The local group that has been coordinating events in my area has a website with a semi-functional calendar. If protests are being organized in your area see if you can find out who's organizing them and look them up. They might have a website too..

Doesn't the average US citizen not vote or vote for a minor party candidate in most presidential elections?

And what's up with unsalted nuts? Why'd they take the salt off?

Tbh, even if someone didn't hate cops this goes to show how bad at their job they are.
