Now if only they had the same support that unions do in Sweden
Solodarity strikes are illegal in the US, the UK, Australia, and the Netherlands

Truman vetoed it and railed against it hard, but of course a corrupt and fiercly communist-paranoid congress overrode his veto.
Never knew it was illegal in the UK. Didn't surprise me though to learn it was Margaret Thatcher who outlawed it again in the 80s.
Man fuck Taft. All my homies hate Taft.
Repealing that act should be one of the largest priorities of leftists in the United States. I wish people talked about it more.
When you make your next union contract, get the expiry date the contract to be May Day. If everybody's contracts expire on the same day, it's easier to have a general strike day in the future.
This might be a stupid question, but how does this law apply to non-union laborers looking to unionize, but aren't technically union yet?
In a right to work state, you'd get shit canned.
Fuck em. How much illegal shit have megacorps gotten away with?
Everything they could, every moment of their existence.
More people believe in unions than you may realize.
Don't just focus in on the shills/bots and what they're saying.
