nitter.gq/actuallyurgay/status/1… If you look like this after a day of work, you need to join a union and bargain collectively for some PPE expeditiously

Corporations about to find out the NLRB is the compromise with a militant labor movement 🤷🏼‍♀️
A federal appeals court has sided with SpaceX in saying that the structure of the National Labor Relations Board is unconstitutional. The court blocked the NLRB from prosecuting charges of unfair labor practices at the company. The NLRB is expected to challenge the ruling.

I used to have one when I lived in Cyprus! And that's a country that easily gets up to 45C, 50C in the summer now. Spent maybe £200 on it, taped it into the window with some cardboard and masking tape and did the trick. Think it just wouldn't occur to most people culturally, tho

We're very saddened to hear about the passing of Jane McAlevey, a true legend in labor organizing. May her memory be a blessing. Her lessons certainly are.
