Bezos and Musk Vs. Workers | Robert Reich

Nothing tells you how important unions are like corporations controlled by the richest men on earth suing to dismantle the government agency that protects the right to organize.

Here’s what you need to know.

We The People need government for the people, not just the wealthy people

[mmerkley]

Absolutely, as long as politicians are bought, nothing changes.

I'm now a retired (expat) professor in Denmark and am STILL a member of my union, since I moved here 23 years ago from Berkeley, CA.

Boycott Starbucks, Trader Joe’s, and Amazon.

Workers uniting for fair rights should do the trick. Workers are also customers in the economy. The fight will be tough, but necessary, and the results will be worth it.

One of my first jobs as a teenager was in a fast food sandwich restaurant. The person hiring me convinced me not to join a union while I was doing the on boarding paperwork. He told me that unions just take a bunch of money from you and don't do anything for you. I was a stupid, ignorant teenager and believed him. Months down the road one of the managers started making unwanted advances. I repeatedly rejected him. Then out of nowhere they started scheduling me during hours that I specified I couldn't work because of school. I told them multiple times those hours didn't work for me. I also stated my availability before they even hired me. Eventually I was fired for not showing up to my sheduled shift repeatedly. At the time, I shrugged it off and accepted that as a normal thing in life. Wish I knew the importance of a union back then.

Billionaires will destroy everything until there's nothing.

One nation indivisible with liberty and justice for sale.

Aside from supporting unions, we also need to play the long game. Like Reich said, it could take years for this to reach the SCOTUS, and there are at least two justices that may not be long for this world. We need to have the WH and Senate in the hands of labor friendly politicians who will seat labor friendly justices.

To keep their riches, yes, they would remove worker's rights unless we unionize and stop them.

[judykinsman]

Thank you for being a voice for labor!

[helios]

Repeal the Reagan tax cuts!!
Marginal income rates to 60%+ at least 👏👏👏🙏 The oligarchy is coming for us all and must be stopped. #TaxTheRich #SaveTheDream

[suec.]

These people (and I use the term lightly) will never have enough.😡

[pauljackson]

Robert, having you as a companion in the struggle for justice is inspiring! Thank you!

[g.c.v.]

Excellent comment, Mr. Robert. You're absolutely right.

[jeremydupuis]

I honestly don't know why a person wouldn't join a union.

[snatchcat]

Why is this still happening; I'm a 1960's guy where labor made made a stand so to speak; thankyou Mr R. the war continues. These rich basturds...oh Lord it's so wrong.

[olyokie]

There is no rational reason for billionaires to even exist.
They need to keep that in mind.
