ChatGPT summary of the PRO Act if nobody wants to read it:
This bill strengthens workers' rights to join unions and collectively bargain for better conditions at work. It aims to make it easier for workers to organize, protect them from unfair treatment, and ensure unions can effectively represent their members. It does this by:
  1. Expanding who is protected under labor laws, including more people as "employees" who can benefit from these protections.
  2. Allowing unions to support strikes organized by other unions, and stopping employers from suing unions for doing so.
  3. Requiring all workers in a union-represented group to help pay for the union's work, even if state law says otherwise.
  4. Protecting workers who go on strike by banning employers from replacing them or treating them unfairly because of their participation.
  5. Stopping employers from forcing workers to attend meetings that discourage union membership and from making workers give up their right to join group lawsuits.
  6. Providing whistleblower protections to employees who report violations of labor laws.
  7. Making union voting easier by allowing remote voting and providing stronger penalties against employers who break labor laws.
Union busting refers to activities, strategies, or tactics used by employers, consultants, or other parties to prevent or disrupt the formation of a union or to weaken or dismantle an existing union within a workplace. The goal of union busting is often to maintain control over the workforce, reduce labor costs, and avoid the collective bargaining process that unions facilitate, which typically results in better wages, benefits, and working conditions for employees.

How does any non-CEO find this bad?

Outside of it being racial, now you know why Elon and all the other CEO's/Republicans probably hate her even more.

We literally arent in a recession
The vast majority of these layoffs are in the tech industry, which had an extreme level of bloat because of their covid hiring spree. It is not a bad time to be an electrician, everyone I know is getting significant increases in pay because the market is so competitive for our services. It was bound to happen with Tech just like college degrees becoming devalued. Too many people concentrated in the same field will eventually lead to layoffs/paycuts, has happened to most fields before and it's they turn now.

She ain't passing shyt. :mjlol:

Politicans are experts at promising to pass laws that they know can't make it through the Congress. All to win over votes. It's so cynical.

We never got out the 08 recession we are just paying the cost of not really dealing with that era in now because of the choices made back then. shyt 1 of the major car makers we bailed out might even pack it up.
