scabs stop scabbing
I cannot emphasize this enough.
This is the fundamental issue, all their rhetoric about "protecting freelancers" aside. Folks want to protect their bread, and all power to them, but don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining.
Some number of freelancers will be forced to either change their business practices or get a regular job. That is an acceptable sacrifice to make sure that Uber drivers aren't working 100 hours a week just to be broke. Sorry!

Pass the PRO Act with reconciliation.
Honestly, if the only thing you could do with it was enact really heavy fines for management (and only management) ULPs, that in and of itself would probably do a lot.
"back wages to employees, and twenty-times back wages as a punitive fine paid to the NLRB" would shut down smaller-scale union-busting right quick.

The Danish social democrats voted for a bill that would seize jewelry from refugees to pay for their detention.
Anyway, this isn't to say that American politics isn't a hellscape, but so is European politics outside of like, Portugal and Ireland.
Also, gotta love Italian politics, where three of the top five parties are quite directly fascist and one is a fash-curious primal scream of populist rage.

Damn son here we goooooooo.
Stewart-Cousins is extremely well-liked across her caucus, moderates, liberals and socialists. If she's coming out for this, I think this is happening. politico.com/states/new-yor…

My labor law people: given how much B2B commerce Amazon does, would this not raise an 8(b)(4) issue which RWDSU would be liable for?
Like, arguably a boycott call would be covered by DeBartolo's persuasive handbilling exception, but that was for explicitly consumer boycotts. If businesses get involved, I think there's at least arguably a secondary strike issue.
Anyway, that might explain why the union is making it really clear that they aren't involved.

A short thread on this.
I knew a fair number of Israelis growing up at religious Jewish summer camp. We had madrichim from Israel, mostly folks relatively recently out of the army. I had Israeli staff as counselors, coworkers and supervisors.
One of the first things that pushed me towards an anti-Occupation perspective, away from right-wing Zionism and towards liberal Zionism, was their army stories.
