It is a violation of the National Labor Relations Act for a boss to interfere in the right of workers to organize into a union, to fire workers for attempting to organize, or to attempt to intimidate workers out of organizing, as the AF of L and AOC point out:
Air Force officials are investigating after an A-10C Thunderbolt II fighter jet on a training mission accidentally fired a rocket near Tucson. Officials at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base say the M-156 rocket landed Thursday morning in a remote desert wash near Mount Graham.
They say there were no injuries, damage or fires from the accidental launch of the white phosphorus projectile in the Jackal Military Operations Area, which is about 60 miles northeast of Tucson.
Just to be clear white phosphorus is a banned chemical weapon, so we are loading up our jets with banned weapons of war near the border. White phosphorus literally sticks to and melts your skin, it burns your lungs, causes organ failure, and kills you. The after-effects of those who survive these chemical attacks are brutal.
In Fallujah, we also illegally used white phosphorus - this was to make the “enemy forces” move from their cover. Now PLEASE tell me how I’m supposed to believe that this was an accident? The military “accidently” loaded up weapons to their fighter jets that are banned by international law and “accidently” dropped one close to a border town and we’re supposed to believe nothing is going on? That they’re not preparing for anything?
This should be bigger news - why the fuck is our military loading fighter jets with illegal chemical weapons near the border and indigenous reservations?
Rejecting the notion that denouncing the Trump administration’s
immigrant detention centers as “concentration camps” does harm to the
memory of the Holocaust, 200 Jewish people demonstrated at a facility in
New Jersey Sunday evening and demanded the release of the thousands of
immigrants in U.S. custody.
Grassroots group Never Again Action
called for all detention centers to be closed and for the U.S.
government to protect asylum seekers and undocumented immigrants—instead
of sending Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) into communities
where the agency has arrested hundreds so far this year in raids.
The group reported that 36 participants were arrested for blocking
the road to the Elizabeth Detention Center in Elizabeth, New Jersey.
“I have to do whatever is in my power to disrupt ICE, to close these
camps, to provide permanent protection, and to ensure that ‘never again’
means never again,”
