They started getting jealous of all that freedom in Florida and have to catch up.

State taking action against peoples right to organize... You would think federal government would enforce its own laws lol
Why would they? They're in club billionaire and we're not. All they need nowadays is "not the other candidate."
Well we all take it like good little bitches... Can't even ask people to adjust their consumption patterns to fight back corpo daddies becuase
u taking muhh freedom rheeee, I consoonme exactly as I am told by dadddy, who is u to question that?!
I literally laughed. In a nutshell, yes.
People shouldn't have to adjust their consumption patterns to fight against corporations. Corporations should have to adjust themselves to prevent their offices from being burned down.
Another naive take lol
Y'all's parents let this shit get this far by being obidient cattle. Sold their own kids for 401k and mcmansion. So at this point you either take the fight to the corps or keep being treated like that too. There is no other choice.
Ain't no nobody gonna save z peasants unless each one helps him or her self first.
True, but I do have expensive cheap habits, like food, shelter, etc
Sounds like it's high time for the citizens of Alabama to go on a tax strike.
Honestly does there exist a company that would acknowledge a union without a vote? I've seen instructions in emergency handbooks for someone presenting union cards that say do not acknowledge them. This law has no impact because for profit companies have no conscious.
Yes, anywhere other than the US. The whole union voting thing is insane.
Yes, of course there do.
Some smaller companies are run by people still in touch with humanity.
Some bigger companies might see the writing on the wall and pre-empt the vote as a tactic to gain public goodwill.
If similar legislation were passed in my state I would engage in covert extremely lawful peaceful protest
What the fuck.
Republicans - MUH FREEDUMS
Also Republicans - You can't do that! Using the principals of capitalism to better yourself and not a corporation? Your labor is not yours, it belongs to the company, how dare you negotiate the price of your product! Your choice to unionize must be prohibited!
They are the party of taking things away. It's literally the core of any legislation or policy positions which come from their party. The fact that they claim to be against government interference in the lives of citizens or fiscal responsibility are laughable details at this point. Even states' rights are something they believe in only when it suits them.
They are the party of hypocrisy and regression, and all their most visible leaders are a laughingstock to the world.
they claim to be against government interference in the lives of citizens or fiscal responsibility
You haven't caught any hypocrisy here. They dropped that talk long, long ago. Constituents still have the idea in their heads, but the GOP doesn't so much as pay lip service to fiscal responsibility, small government or state's rights.
Can't remember when I noticed, but it was pre-Trump. Guess it's too easy to burn 'em in election ad sound bites.
I do feel like states rights gets trotted out as needed, if not as often as in the past. Isn't it their primary non-religious defense for overturning Roe?. Otherwise, I think you have a point. I suppose I don't hear those sorts of claims often like I used to.
Add it to the pile of reasons I won’t be going to Alabama anytime soon.
It's a big pile too.
At this point, I actively avoid buying things if they ship from certain states, if I can help it
The only reason it's not the worst state is because Mississippi exists
Don't forget Louisiana and South Carolina.
