Member Scholar @sharblock of @Harvard_Law highlights a crucial issue: the penalties under the NLRA haven't evolved since its enactment, only remedies exist. Changes in interpretations have weakened remedies over time. More on this via @capitalandmain.

Excellent thread from @EquitableGrowth on understanding what the impact of the Glacier decision could look like in the context of a series of legal shifts that have undermined the power strikes.
Yesterday’s Supreme Court decision in Glacier Northwest, Inc. v. International Brotherhood of Teamsters Local 174 represents yet another blow to worker power in the United States. 🧵
