North Korea, without hyperbole, is jealous of the NYT.
Our CEOs have strayed from the holy Profit and directed our ship away from the Great Material Continuum. Their blasphemy cannot be tolerated!
It's been pretty hit or miss the last few years, but black ops 6 is definitely worth it. The noncanon scene I mentioned is in Black Ops Cold War, which is about 4 years old now (Bo6 is also it's direct sequel). It's a lot of fun, but to unlock it you'll have to solve some tricky and well hidden but simple puzzles throughout the whole story. It might take a few tries to get it, but it's more satisfying than the canon ending imo.
I agree, but also noncanon can get pretty fun. Imo the best ending I've recently seen like this is actually a cod game where you slowmo kill all the AI protagonists and nuke Europe
Honestly, it's hard to say. I think it's quite possible, however there's a surprising twist with the upcoming admin: the nominee to chair the NLRB isn't shit and has an outstandingly ok labor record as a Republican.
Edit: fwiw I know exactly how much that actually means. It just means we might get some weak pushback against the destruction of the NLRB, but the labor movement has worked with less.
He's a self serving piece of shit that made fat donations to republicans and got installed with no prior experience to serve Trump's agenda
Like I said, just another CEO. I'm glad you added some context for this, because he's definitely a huge piece of shit tearing apart the fabric of a functional government.
I'm a union organizer, and by coincidence I live in MN, so this is my bread and butter.
You pretty much nailed it, with the only exception that right-to-work laws allow everyone in the workplace, even members, to avoid paying dues entirely. As the map shows, MN is not one of those states though. We have different terms in organizing circles. We call states with right-to-work "free rider" states, and those without are called "fair share" states.
Every union decides how they want to handle nonmembers outside of their legal obligations. My union is CWA, we don't allow nonmembers to have any say at all on union matters. This means no input on the bargaining survey, no bargaining update emails, no electing the executive board, no voting on the contract, no participation in committees, no admittance to most meetings, etc.
one obvious thing - what if they voted to go on strike
In both cases, regardless of free rider laws, nonmembers are not entitled to the strike fund. The dues equivalency your grandpa paid excluded the few cents for the strike fund and a few other union governance things like that. However, they can still participate in the strike.
It's not an invention, but a reframing of the class war.
Careful how you phrase that, I heard a militia of collectors is forming to capture the biggest depiction of a gun in the world
He's just another CEO tbh, but the only shred of credit I'm willing to give him is that he's not a profit ghoul by total choice, that would be the bill passed in 1970 in retaliation for the largest wildcat strike in US history. Nixon put the USPS into billions of debt.

Panel 2:
Mr. Block reading a different paper: Here's a respectable paper. It says everyone can be successful if he only makes up his mind. That's the dope.

Transcript:
Panel 1:
Workers: I can do more work than anyone in this gang. Hurry up! I can beat you!
Boss: It's a nice bunch of suckers. I think they will stand for a reduction in wages, alright.
Panel 2:
Boss: I am awful sorry boys, but business is slack. I have to cut your wages.
Workers: Alright boss. Too bad.
Panel 3:
the IWW bugs bite the workers
IWW Bugs: Don't submit! Bum pay, bum work! Organize. Use sabotage. Take it easy.
Panel 4:
IWW bugs flying away: If you fellows unite, you can abolish exploitation all together.
Workers performing work to rule: That's about enough for one load. Short pay, short shovel.
Panel 5:
Boss: Gee! What am I going to do. The whole country is going IWW bugs. Instead of cutting wages, I have to raise them.
Transcription:
Panel 1:
Mr. Block: I won't work for two dollars a day. Them Eastern news papers said that the wages here in Dakota is six dollars.
Boss: If you don't take a job at once I'll land you in the rockpile for seven months.
Panel 2-4:
Mr Block: What else could I do, I had to take the job. Two dollars ain't much but there's one consolation about this. I am told they got the eight hour day here in Dakota. I am almost played out. I started at four in the morning and it's nearly twelve now. It's a good thing that I have the whole afternoon for resting up.
Panel 5:
Boss: It's dinner time, get your sowbelly and hurry back to work!
Mr. Block: I thought you had an eight hour work day here in Dakota.
Panel 6:
Boss: Eight hour day, that's correct.. Eight in the forenoon and eight in the afternoon.
