Click here for a Robert Reich article on Substack; Bezos and Musk have always been anti-union and have fought the attempted unionization of their companies for years. But now they have both filed lawsuits trying to strike down the 1935 National Labor Relations Act — the Act that legitimized labor unions. If they succeed, the NLRB (National Labor Relations Board), the agency that enforces the NLRA, would be deemed unconstitutional.
They want the Supreme Court to reverse its 1937 ruling and return America to a time before workers had the right to form unions. Reich says:
Evidently, they believe that today’s Supreme Court — packed with right-wing justices who have few scruples about reversing long-held judicial precedents or even taking money from wealthy people with a financial interest in how they rule — will find their argument compelling.
I hope they’re wrong.
