As workers gear up for the election, the Alabama House of Representatives on Tuesday voted 72-30 for a bill that would withhold future economic incentive money from companies that voluntarily recognize unions rather than holding secret ballots. The state Senate previously passed a version of the legislation but now must consider it with the lower chamber’s amendments.
Just completely mask-off
Not allowing Workers to Bargain if they want to is called FREEDOM!
Isn’t this against the law? Like deciding winners and losers?
Pay stupid wages, win stupid product.
And yet the Republicans still blame Democrats for their shitty pay, workers rights, and work environment. Yet they keep electing representatives who vote against fucking unions, and all kinds of common sense laws.
And then they blame Democrats because the Republican controlled media tells them those are the bad guys who are ruining their way of life.
They are mad for the right reasons at the wrong people. In reality, the people who are destroying their way of life, are the same people who are supposedly the representatives.
If you keep the peasants at each others throats about issues like race or gender identity, they’ll never have time to look up and see where all the fruits of their labor are going. Right now trans folk are the target, closer to the election it’ll be migrant caravans again, it’s the same stupid shit over and over
Republicans love any legislation that creates a situation where working people have to be constantly worried about their livelihoods. This is how you ensure a cheap supply of labor, exploiting human beings.
Maybe someone should put DeSantis and Abbott to work in the heat outdoors and not give them any water breaks, see how they enjoy that. I mean it’s not just inhumane, it can’t be good for business. Unless of course you are in the business of cruelty as conservatives tend to be.
