🚨 A Trump judge in Texas just granted an injunction in favor of a company arguing the NLRB is unconstitutional.

Judge Mark Pittman cites SCOTUS' recent Jarkesy decision in saying the board's judge system likely violates separation of powers.

Order:

Elon Musk won similar injunctions from the Fifth Circuit in his SpaceX case against the NLRB, though those orders contained no legal reasoning.

The employer here, FindHelp, is facing unfair labor practice charges that will be enjoined as this case moves forward.
Correction to initial tweet: Pittman did not cite the SCOTUS Jarkesy decision, but the Fifth Circuit’s Jarkesy decision. Thanks to @MattBruenig for pointing out.

NEWS: Amazon spent more than $14.2 million on anti-union consultants last year, new Labor Department filings show.

I've never seen another company disclose spending anywhere close to that in a single year.
huffpost.com/entry/amazon-a…
These days employers typically pay around $3,200 per day, plus expenses, for each anti-union consultant on the job. That's ~20 times the daily pay that many Amazon warehouse workers start out at.
These consultants hold "captive audience" meetings with workers to discourage them from unionizing. Amazon has been a bonanza for them.

$2.8M of this money went to the firm of Katie Lev, who as I reported in Feb got caught breaking the law at Amazon:

BREAKING: The Labor Dept has released some horrifying findings in its child labor investigation in meatpacking plants.

They say Packers Sanitation employed *at least 102 kids* as young as 13 across 8 states. Minors cleaned 'back saws, brisket saws and head splitters.'
[deleted initial tweet that said kids operated such machines -- they were cleaning them with hazardous chemicals. sorry for the error.]
According to investigators, the child laborers in U.S. meatpacking plants included:
--4 kids who were 13 years old
--6 who were 14
--17 who were 15
--35 who were 16
--40 who were 17

BREAKING: In a rare bipartisan win, the Senate just voted to include the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act in the omnibus spending package. The amendment passed 73 to 24.

This has been a years-long fight to guarantee basic accommodations for pregnant workers. It's a very big deal.
There's a separate vote coming up that would expand the right to pump breast milk at work to millions of additional workers. If that passes as well, then the omnibus would be landmark workers rights legislation.
BREAKING: In another big bipartisan win, the Senate just voted to include the PUMP Act in the omnibus spending bill.

This would expand the right to pump breast milk at work to millions of workers currently excluded under the law.

This, too, was years in the making.

Some labor news today: The @MLBPA just announced they are joining the @AFLCIO. That’s right, they were not an affiliate until now. Tony Clark says they’ve reflected a lot on the shortened 2020 season and the lockout and how to be “part of the broader labor discussion.”
This would be one of the smallest unions in the AFL-CIO but of course one of the best known. Joining the federation puts the players union in a formal alliance with unions like UNITE HERE, which represents thousands of ballpark concessions workers who were hurt by the lockout.
More context: the players union is undertaking a major organizing effort in the minor leagues right now. I suspect there will be ways the AFL-CIO can help in that effort and also amplify the union’s message. There are lot of reasons this alliance makes sense right now.

Some big Starbucks news: The labor board just issued a huge complaint saying the company broke labor law by firing workers, closing stores and surveilling pro-union workers in the Buffalo area, where the union campaign began last year huffpost.com/entry/starbuck…
Among the many charges: Starbucks illegally fired six workers; promised benefits if workers opposed the union; monitored employees' conversations; interrogated workers about the union; selectively enforced work rules against union supporters; and closed stores as retaliation.
These cases all start with allegations by the union. But a complaint like this means NLRB officials investigated the claims and found merit in what the union says Starbucks did. The board is really starting to drop the hammer on Starbucks.

NEW: Starbucks is NOT happy with Biden's meeting y'day with union leaders that included @SBWorkersUnited. The company wants its own meet-and-greet: "We are deeply concerned that Workers United was invited... while not inviting official Starbucks representatives."

Letter to WH:
IMO this right here is what Biden was getting at when he apparently told @Shut_downAmazon that he'd gotten the president in trouble. These union campaigns and their public support are pressuring the White House to take a stand, and companies like Starbucks aren't gonna like it.
.@SBWorkersUnited responds: "Equal time is one of [our] core demands...If Starbucks now believes in this principle, and grants us equal company time to talk to partners for every anti-union meeting they hold, we'd be happy to have them tag along next time" huffpost.com/entry/starbuck…
