Official Kakistocracy Jester 🪓I was thinking about how to articulate how radical <a href="https://stranger.social/tags/RightToWork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RightToWork</a> legislation is… so let’s take it to the opposite extreme.Imagine a bunch of socialists and communists getting together and drafting “Right to Buy” legislation. Their argument is that if you go into a store, and you don’t like the price of an item, or if you simply don’t want to pay, you should have the right to just take it with no recourse from the store.That’s how extreme Right-to-Work bills sound to a <a href="https://stranger.social/tags/union" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#union</a> guy. <a href="https://stranger.social/tags/labor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#labor</a>

Maggie Maybe“Rep. Michael Granger, R-Rochester, supported the measure.  “I am an independent worker,” he said. He said people who don’t join unions are resented and called a “free rider” from unions. “Evil is self-defeating,” Granger said in supporting the bill.” He’s talking about a <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/RightToWork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RightToWork</a> bill. What does “evil” have to do with it? It’s like some of these Republicans are suffering from a diagnosable delusional disorder. Isn’t there one that involves religion and delusions regarding religion?

Margaret Anne (she/her/they)No Canadian jurisdiction with full up "right to work" laws...but we must be vigilant! These are anti-union laws meant to break the little power that unions have.

MikeDunnAuthorCovid-related mental health problems affected the U.S. South more than other regions, according to New study. However, this might be due more to the preexisting poverty and anti labor policies that existed there, as well as the region's weak response to covid-related job loss, homelessness and material insecurity. <a href="https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/study-southern-us-hit-hardest-mental-health-concerns-during-pandemic" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/study-southern-us-hit-hardest-mental-health-concerns-during-pandemic</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/covid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#covid</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/pandemic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pandemic</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MentalHealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MentalHealth</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CovidIsNotOver" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CovidIsNotOver</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/poverty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#poverty</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/homelessness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#homelessness</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/antilabor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#antilabor</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/antiunion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#antiunion</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RightToWork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RightToWork</a>
