Bích-Mây Nguyễn :verified:“In general, an employer could fire an employee for just about anything, including criticizing the company on social media or anywhere else,” said Jeffrey Hirsch, a professor of labor and employment law at the University of North Carolina. <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/15/tech/can-you-lose-job-for-social-media-post/index.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/15/tech/can-you-lose-job-for-social-media-post/index.html</a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/labor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#labor</a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/employer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#employer</a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/NLRA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NLRA</a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/SocialMedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SocialMedia</a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/SoMe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SoMe</a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/FreeSpeech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeSpeech</a> <a href="https://med-mastodon.com/tags/FirstAmendment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FirstAmendment</a>

JDThe more I think about this piece, the more I think about the social contract. It’s there for everyone’s safety, especially for the wealthy. Us plebes allow them to survive in exchange for a decent food on our table, a solid roof over our head, and a weekend. We’ve tried doing it the way they wanted, but things didn’t work out so well. The NLRA was a *peace* treaty.<a href="https://cville.online/tags/nlra" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nlra</a> <a href="https://cville.online/tags/labor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#labor</a> <a href="https://cville.online/tags/unions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#unions</a><a href="https://pluralistic.net/2025/01/29/which-side-are-you-on-2/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://pluralistic.net/2025/01/29/which-side-are-you-on-2/</a>

Chuck DarwinAmerica’s Richest Men Ask the Courts to Make Unions IllegalFourscore and seven years ago —1937, to be exact— our fathers on the Supreme Court (well, five of them, which was just enough) brought forth a new nation: <a href="https://c.im/tags/New" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#New</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Deal" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Deal</a> America. In that year, the justices ruled that the most fundamental legislative works of Franklin Roosevelt’s presidency —Social Security and the National Labor Relations Act ( <a href="https://c.im/tags/NLRA" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#NLRA</a> ) —were constitutional. So said the Court; so said, in the NLRA case, Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes, the decision’s author, who had been the Republican candidate for president in 1916. From these decisions, which 🔸saved seniors from destitution 🔸and 💥enabled workers to form unions, 💥a broadly shared <a href="https://c.im/tags/prosperity" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#prosperity</a> emerged that gave the nation a middle-class majority for the three decades after World War II.Now we are engaged in a war with the rulers of the new economy, who, having already downsized that middle class by appropriating an ever larger share of the proceeds from its work for themselves, actually want to strike down the NLRA. In the past few weeks, three pillars of that economy —Elon Musk’s <a href="https://c.im/tags/SpaceX" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#SpaceX</a>, Jeff Bezos’s <a href="https://c.im/tags/Amazon" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Amazon</a>, and the Albrecht family’s <a href="https://c.im/tags/TraderJoe" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#TraderJoe</a>'s —have all asked federal courts to declare the core functions of the NLRA <a href="https://c.im/tags/unconstitutional" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#unconstitutional</a>, on the grounds that the National Labor Relations Board’s (NLRB) <a href="https://c.im/tags/administrative" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#administrative</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/courts" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#courts</a>, 🔹like those of other regulatory agencies, 🔹mix judicial functions with executive branch functions. In actual practice, what those bodies do is hear and rule on cases such as those brought by workers on organizing campaigns who’ve been illegally fired. What Elon and Jeff would prefer is that federal courts hear such cases directly, which guarantees that 👉by the time they reach the bench, those organizing campaigns will have become a dim memory<a href="https://prospect.org/blogs-and-newsletters/tap/2024-02-22-americas-richest-men-ask-courts-make-unions-illegal/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://prospect.org/blogs-and-newsletters/tap/2024-02-22-americas-richest-men-ask-courts-make-unions-illegal/</a>
