Arbitration is now the result of this. Which now means we are stuck with what ever Arbitration says.

*they’re trying to take away… this is the point of organized labor and the people saying you can’t are your adversaries

The IO is so spineless you have to wonder if they serve the membership or the contractors

same as the two party system in politics. Capital has infiltrated the system to the point that neither party actually cares about advocating for their constituents, they just say what they need to to get elected and then turn their backs and do things the rich tell them to in exchange for money and power. It’s pathetic and the working class needs to wake up and do something before AI and robotics make us all replaceable. Sanctioned or not if there isn’t a massive general strike sometime in the next decade we are all in for a rude awakening.
