LUEL Statement on the State of the NLRB

LUEL — Tue, 18 Feb 2025 14:39:31 +0000

The future of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) is in jeopardy. The cases by monopoly companies such as Amazon and SpaceX are working their way through the courts. In October, the Firth Circuit of Appeals ordered a stay on NLRB rulings being contested by both companies.

This coincides with President Trump’s appointment of SpaceX CEO Elon Musk to a new agency, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). DOGE is tasked with “tackling government bureaucracy and streamlining processes” of the US Government. This would put the NLRB in its crosshairs as it is supposed to be a check on the autocracy of corporations in the US. Musk’s role in this proposed initiative is a direct conflict of interest considering Musk’s legal fight against the NLRB.

We must ask the question, who elected Musk? How has an oligarch been put into a position to oversee a government apparatus supposedly aimed at being a check on tyrannical rule? Of course, these appointments have been a consistent feature of the US state apparatus, but the appointment of Musk, who spent over $200 million of his own money to get Trump elected, is in effect doing the quiet part out loud. This is an indication of how the NLRB and workers’ rights in general will fare during Trump’s second administration.

To add insult to injury, the Democratic majority during the “lame duck” session of the last Congress failed to re-confirm NLRB Chair, Lauren McFerran, which would have maintained a pro-worker NLRB for the first two years of Trump’s administration. With so-called “friends of labor” like this, who needs enemies? By design, this failure has handed a hobbled NLRB over to a Trump regime hell-bent on stripping away workers’ rights. Now, Trump has fired other members of the NLRB, including General Counsel Jennifer Abruzzo and Former Chair Gwynne Wilcox, leaving the Board without a quorum.

The current situation among the misleaders of labor is an over-reliance on the administrative state to protect the rights which militant rank-and-file workers fought and died for. LUEL exists because we see the imperative for the US labor movement to regain its militancy in a class-oriented fight against capital. Only this can ensure a strong future for both the labor movement and the working-class as a whole in the United States.

LUEL Statement on the NLRB’s Ban on Captive Audience Meetings

LUEL — Mon, 03 Feb 2025 14:39:21 +0000

Last month, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) finally made a decision in the series of cases filed against Amazon by the Amazon Labor Union (ALU) in 2021 and 2022. At the heart of these cases was Amazon’s use of repressive captive audience meetings aimed at coercing workers against the later successful unionization campaign at the JFK8 warehouse in Staten Island, NY.

In its decision, the NLRB ruled that going forward companies are no longer able to use the captive audience meeting to force workers to listen to their anti-union diatribes used to convince workers that the bosses “have their best interests at heart”. Unfortunately, this ruling does not go far enough as it still allows so-called voluntary meetings, “so long as workers are provided reasonable advance notice of: the subject of any such meeting, that attendance is voluntary with no adverse consequences for failure to attend, and that no attendance records of the meeting will be kept.”

Given the precedent set by the Supreme Court’s overruling of the 1984 Chevron Decision earlier this year this is likely to provide cover for the bosses to continue this practice with little recourse. The striking down of the Chevron Decision has limited the ability of federal agencies to interpret the laws they are tasked to enforce.

Labor United Educational League stands in solidarity with all worker-organizers who take up the mantel to challenge monopolies such as Amazon. We cannot solely rely on NLRB administrative law to protect us. Only a mass, class-oriented fight can defeat the monopolists.

LUEL Statement on the 2024 Presidential Elections

LUEL — Sun, 27 Oct 2024 03:14:11 +0000

LUEL Supports the Jill Stein Presidential Campaign

Labor United Educational League believes that the Green Party platform is the most progressive on the ballot for the 2024 presidential election. No other candidate is calling for the repeal of Taft-Hartley, a Federal Jobs Guarantee, and the end of US military intervention around the world. Neither Trump nor Harris has even mentioned Taft-Harley. The promotion of a class-oriented platform is critical not only for this election but for future elections. In assessing which candidate on the ballot represents the best path forward in developing an anti-monopoly and class-oriented consciousness in this country, the Labor United Educational League sees the platform of Jill Stein as the best choice for American workers this election.

Discussion of the pro-worker and anti-war policies of the Green Party is essential for all members of LUEL and such policies should be brought to every worker possible.

The Green Party platform can be found at: jillstein2024.com/platform
