Brandon Carter, The Hill:
“Local 100 filed charges with Region 16 of the NLRB against the Dallas Cowboys to stop owner, Jerry Jones, from threatening players with benching or termination for exercising their right to concerted activity under the National Labor Relations Act,” its post read.
“Sorry, Jerry, you’re over the line, partner. Workers have rights!”
I spent a good buncha time hatin' on unions. I was (mostly) wrong.
Beyond their valuable economic contributions, Unions serve a very important function in the structure of Checks & Balances - holding powerful people accountable.
Yeah yeah, I know - 27-year-old millionaires aren't exactly the downtrodden proletariate. But that's kinda the point - if they can be squashed, it sends a very loud, very clear signal to the rest of us that we'd better shut up, stay in line, and do what we're told.
We have to push back against the Daddy State. Unions help us do that.
