Protests (often incredibly violent ones) are why we have unions.

*Note an accurate explanation of how we got our rights isn't directly advocating for how to keep them or as advocacy for violence in any form, because that's what unacceptable about this situation

Also, remember that legal, regulated unions with a union steward empowered to negotiate are the compromise. The alternative was rioting mobs of factory workers.

In 1812 the forces of General Ludd attacked a mill near Manchester, which was defended by British soldiers and literal cannons. The reason why we have unions today is that dealing with unions was a more palatable option for the bosses than dealing with an angry mob.

Also, strikes are the more peaceful, more acceptable option that was a compromise vs. simply wrecking the machines.

All this time fighting against unions has meant the alternative to unions simply becomes more likely, and if the business owners think they hate unions, imagine how they'll like angry mobs.

I didn't ask for ran example, but yes that's entirely the type of comment I'm talking about...

Just because you personally haven't heard of something, doesn't mean it's not happening.

That's literally how trump thinks tho

Help organize better ones

More importantly, bureaucrats who are used to politicians making kneejerk reactions and trying things they can't do.

Bureaucrats used to planning ahead for multiple contingencies.

trump and Elmo aren't chaotic forces, they're incredibly predictable idiots. The unions arent scrambling to react like a disorganized mass of employees, they just shrug and pull the next packet of documents out of a drawer and follow the next step in the binder.

They don't need to worry about flashy attorney fees, they have an army of beige suit lawyers who file boring and predictable arguments that were written before Elmo thought to put the current plan into motion. And they have the massive savings account to pay those boring lawyers for a very long time, because federal bureacrats are risk adverse and plan for raining days.

There's a reason neoliberals play nice when they decimate the federal workforce.

The union can outlast a president.

Not really. "Temporary" blocks are pretty common. Wake me up when they're permanent.

They'll just get a harshly worded letter or something

Capitalism still acting like it’s an impressions game

Neoliberalism: A political theory of the late 1900s holding that personal liberty is maximized by limiting government interference in the operation of free markets.

Modern conservatives are neoliberals in most cases... so not only are you misunderstanding what the OP was trying to rightly highlight but your statement is also just plain wrong.

You clearly don't know what that word means

"I can't beleive he didn't critique the Nazis instead of our allies that are for some reason helping the Nazis!"
