    Great news for Scabby and friends but it remains to be seen how and his cronies who still have the majority on the Board will respond. Will they insist on making some good First Amendment law for Scabby by refusing the request and sending the issue to the courts?

    "The National Labor Relations Board's new acting prosecutor is moving to end high-profile litigation former General Counsel Peter Robb filed to block unions from deploying inflatable rats and erecting large banners in some protests."

    "Weingarten is considering making a big speech telling teachers that it can be safe to return to work and crucial to do so. She would point to the districts she believes have gotten reopening right..."

    In 2013, and I talked with Karen Lewis about reinvigorating unions, how "professionalism" shapes education organizing, and 's transformative strike: "teachers have been an easy target. Because we’re not used to fighting"

    responds with statement from Detroit McDonald’s worker: “We're literally dying while politicians are playing political football with our lives. We need a $15 minimum wage in the COVID relief package.”

    Biden tells he doesn't believe the $15 minimum wage hike will survive negotiations after Senate adopted amendment to not raise during pandemic. That's despite Bernie Sanders believing Dem proposal wouldn't be impacted / Pelosi expressing some hope earlier today
