Flight attendants are "largely women that were willing to take the biggest risk — of fines, jail time and perhaps losing their jobs — to fight for dignity at work, and we owe them a debt.”

Back-to-work orders erode trust. When gov’t intervenes for employers, unions see rules as stacked & militancy grows—expect more actions outside legal limits as faith in the system fades

My comments on #Amazon in @globeandmail :
“Amazon’s announcement casts a chill on organizing efforts nationwide, and she struggles to believe it’s unrelated to the union efforts.”
It’s no accident that third-party delivery is harder to unionize
