one time i went to a labor studies department at a Big University and i said “i have a bachelors degree and i think i’d like to maybe go for an advanced degree in labor studies before i find myself singing union hymns on the street corner out of sheer frustration” and we talked for a while about the kind of organizing the professor himself had done and some of his colleagues, and i expressed frustration, then, with the existence of taft-hartley because it hamstrings union organizing so much, and the professor said, i shit you not “we got some good rulings out of the nlrb”

i was flabbergasted. we don’t need the nlrb if we can throw wildcat strikes and solidarity strikes, which the NLRB will never support.

all this to say i hope the nlrb is abolished because then the professional labor organizing people won’t have an excuse not to attack the real problem.
