Late last night, with about 15 minutes notice to the Union, the NLRB’s HR sent an email adopting the terms of the forked-up resignation scam. HR also provided us a contract that appears to be drafted by AI or LegalZoom. As labor lawyers, we’re happy to go over this in detail. 🧵

That Donald J. Trump — the same person who instigated a coup four years ago today — will become president on January 20 is an assault on the rule of law and the foundations of our democracy.

Elon Musk, an unelected billionaire with a history of attacking his employees and unions, is now using his power to hurt the working people who make this country run.
There’s nothing “efficient” about a pair of billionaires shutting down the government and jeopardizing the paychecks and essential services that hardworking taxpayers and their families depend on days before Christmas.

Since the Teamsters love him so much, any reports of Trump walking a picket line to support Amazon workers…? I’m sure his upcoming appointments to the NLRLB will certainly side with the workers on this one..
