They take away those near century old soc-dem FDR era protections and watch how fast this country shuts down. So, go ahead, do it. Destroy the last vestiges of the post war compromise. I dare you Elon. I dare the GOP. I dare this Supreme Court and their billionaire chums.

See how fast we get a general strike. No protections, no work. Simply as that. The wealthiest empire the world has ever known will be ground to a halt in a matter of hours.

UAW strike: 13,000 auto workers walk off

Nearly one in 10 of America’s unionized auto workers went on strike Friday at Detroit’s three automakers. They are seeking higher wages in an era of big profits, and as the industry makes a costly switch from gas guzzlers to electric vehicles. By striking simultaneously at General Motors, Ford and Stellantis, the United Auto Workers union is trying to inflict maximum pain. The strikes were limited to three assembly plants in Michigan, Ohio and Missouri. Union President Shawn Fain says more plants will be added if the companies don’t deliver better contracts. The workers are seeking 36% higher wages over four years.

Actors strike live updates: Actors join screenwriters in historic strike

Actors will join screenwriters in a combined strike that will have huge consequences for Hollywood. Leaders of SAG-AFTRA, the union that represents the actors, voted Thursday to strike after contract talks collapsed with the studios and streaming services that hire them. It’s the first time actors from film and television shows have gone on strike since 1980. And the first time both actors and writers have been on strike since 1960. Industry leaders expressed disappointment in a walkout they said comes at the worst possible time. The group representing studios and streaming services said early Thursday that the actors' decision to end negotiations was their choice and will hurt thousands financially.

@WorkingFamilies
We're so close a at my job. By the end of May we're going to become the first local TV station in the area to have a vote. Management is 100% clueless about the campaign that we've been running for more than a year and it'll be a complete blindside when we file with the NLRB. And I cannot wait.
