    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taft-Hartley_Act

    Bullshit law from 1947 that outlaws solidarity between unions. It’s legalized criminality. It’s why I think it’s important UAW are lining all their contacts up for May 1st, 2028 and encouraging other unions to do the same.

      Among the practices prohibited by the Taft–Hartley act are jurisdictional strikes, wildcat strikes, solidarity or political strikes, secondary boycotts, secondary and mass picketing, closed shops, and monetary donations by unions to federal political campaigns.

      Isn’t that what the police unions do all the time?

      I bring this up every time someone says they’re in favor of deregulation. Most of the time they actually aren’t.
