SCPR To Cut More Than 10% Of Staff Positions, CEO Cites Budget Shortfall

The announcement was shared in a memo to staff and over a Zoom meeting on Tuesday.

I think people forget that #unions use to have more grit and force. Many #UnionMembers died to get the 40-hour work week, and many also would pull their bosses to the street to get publicly beat-up for fucking over the workers. I like to look back at the #LaborHistory of #America and remind myself of the blood spilled for rights that seem less and less obtainable.
Glad to be here! Here’s a just-for-fun legal wishlist on the state of labor and employment law. Please feel free to share your own wishes. One - forced arbitration should be illegal except in a CBA. Two - the NLRB is a bad forum for retaliation cases. Agency must be FULLY FUNDED, but workers must be able to file suit in court to enforce the NLRA, with attorneys fees if the worker wins. Your turn. #unions #laborstrong #iloveunions #JoinAUnion #unionstrong #unionyes #unionswork #UnionMembers

Taking some time off this weekend?

Thank a union!
