They're actively gutting the NLRB too, I doubt there will be any meaningful action out of that agency against antiunion activities no matter how blatant until at least Jan 20, 2029.
- insane_dreamer 2y agoIt's no accident that the NLRB was one of the first agencies to get gutted.
- rtkwe 2y agoLots of agencies that were looking into one of Musk's many companies were the first targets of DOGE.

- UncleMeat 2y agoIt is even worse than that. Musk is currently suing to argue that the NLRB is more-or-less entirely unconstitutional. There's a meaningful chance that labor organizing protections simply permanently end within the next couple years.

- aaomidi 2y agoNLRB going away will be a short term pain, but long term its better for the health of unions to not have to follow restrictive legal guidelines.
- rtkwe 2y agoThe unshackling will be one sided. I'm sure unions will still be forced by courts to follow all the old rules it's the companies that will get to flout union votes and retaliate freely without the NLRB.
