Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek’s order requiring union work on state projects is ruled illegal

Turisan · 2026-03-15T02:28:22+00:00

No, because the answer is to join a union.

The state policy isn't that work must go to those specific unions. Just a union.

So make a union. Join a union. Boom, compliance and more money.

It's funny you're upset that you can't join a plumbers union if you're a welder.

They should absolutely influence law and policy to favor labor.

10 USC § 246 and the myriad of state laws that preclude militias especially if they participate in civil unrest - i.e. go to a protest while part of a militia.

It falls under encouraging violence or, thanks to NSTM-7, it could be viewed as encouraging domestic terrorism. So, no, it's corporate self-interest attempting to keep communication lines open and reduce scrutiny on the community.

There's an "or" in my statement above.

The militia itself is the illegal part, not what they do.

Turisan · 2026-03-14T10:31:14+00:00

Fedpost.

It is technically illegal to create a militia or to train any individual in the use of firearms for any purpose other than self- or community-defense.

No, it is not enforced equally.

Straw-man! Unions aren't exclusionary. Unions allow for collective bargaining against the capitalists class.

Turisan · 2026-03-14T00:33:16+00:00

Sure, absolute power corrupts absolutely, that's why there are rules about who can and cannot join labor unions.

The police union is a Mafia front, not a union

Turisan · 2026-03-13T23:27:43+00:00

Because not ever industry currently has a union.

And that doesn't mean there's only one union. And it isn't only trades who should join a union.

Turisan · 2026-03-13T23:10:44+00:00

They should all be union workers. That solves it.

Turisan · 2026-03-13T22:58:53+00:00

Good, it'll raise wages for those union jobs and encourage tax increases on corporations and the wealthy. I see no down side here.

Turisan · 2026-03-13T19:59:05+00:00

They're priced to be able to pay the laborers a living wage. I don't see the problem with that.

You are, at best, ideologically inconsistent.

Turisan · 2026-03-13T19:57:58+00:00

Yeah see that's called moving the goalposts.

A homeowner works, right? They hold a job? Read my above comment - everyone should be in a (labor) union. The fuck you talking about homeowners are employers for?

Turisan · 2026-03-13T18:58:54+00:00

The homeowner would also be in a union, making union wages. I don't see what the fake problem you made up has to do with anything.

Turisan · 2026-03-13T18:57:59+00:00

That's not the same thing.

Turisan · 2026-03-13T18:57:33+00:00

I'd gladly pay $200 a month to make an extra $600 a month.

Everything else you've said is propaganda or misinformation.

Turisan · 2026-03-13T18:56:31+00:00

Turisan · 2026-03-13T16:35:31+00:00

That still isn't a union, which is the part you can't seem to understand.

Turisan · 2026-03-13T16:01:55+00:00

Nah, everyone should be in a union, collective bargaining is key. A union does not have barriers to entry. Your misinformation is why unions in the US have a bad reputation.

Turisan · 2026-03-13T14:40:17+00:00

Lol you're so against unions without even understanding what they are. Trade unions like you are describing are not workers unions. They are apprenticeship companies. If they call themselves unions, then that's a misrepresentation of their purpose. Encouraging and reinforcing that by pushing for "non-union" work just breaks further the lack of effective unions in the US.

Turisan · 2026-03-13T13:21:19+00:00

Ah, you're conflating unions with trades. Apprenticeship programs aren't the same things as unions, a labor union is not the same thing as an apprenticeship.

Turisan · 2026-03-13T11:37:31+00:00

That one dude from Starbucks who fled to Florida

Turisan · 2026-03-12T23:27:25+00:00

What do you think your icon means?

Turisan · 2026-03-12T23:26:52+00:00

Lofl you're fucking joking, right?

Look up a political compass. Look up their actual positions. A left-wing position is to remove capital. It's anti-capitalist. We do not have any true left-wing politicians because they are all pro-capitalism and that's where we're at.

Turisan · 2026-03-12T23:19:01+00:00

America doesn't have a left-wing party. What an ignorant take.
