There's a case in the Supreme Court going on right now that was funded by Republican dictators the Koch Brothers that will essentially bust public unions. It'll win because Neil Gorsuck (I know his last name is "Gorsuch" but I like "Gorsuck" better because he sucks, GET IT?!) finally got the seat after the Russians installed Donald Trump president after Bitch McConnell (I know his first name is "Mitch" but same thing) defied Senate convention and refused to hold a hearing for Merrick Garland. The Republicans now have five seats in the Supreme Court, and so public union-busting is just about guaranteed.
According to this article, this case going the Republicans' way is the penultimate step to ending the concept of unions as we know it. The final step is Republicans passing a national "right to work" law that would supercede state union laws in blue states such as California, New York and, well, Minnesota. Once that happens, collective bargaining is done, and workers' rights probably go with it. And that means we'll face hazardous workplaces, plunging wages, firings left and right for no reason, and no recourse to get our jobs back. All so greedy sons-of-bitches like the Koch Brothers think they were ordained by God to take all the money in the world.
Fuck Republicans. And yes, I am now very, very scared. People need to know about this.
