Alternate headline: Pottery Barn rules apply to walkouts. In an 8-1 decision in which only Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson fully dissented, the Supreme Court ruled today that unions have to reimburse employers for damages caused by striking workers. The National Labor Relations Act does not confer immunity to unions or workers — the latest ruling from a court that has stiffened the boundaries for labor activities in the last few years: The Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that federal labor law did not protect a union from potential liability for damage that arose during a strike, and that a state court should resolve questions of liability. The majority found that if accusations

Unions should not be allowed to exist in government. Just for the reason they could shut down the government if they chose. I remember Reagan throwing out the traffic controller when they went on strike.

On August 5, 1981 an angry President Reagan carried out his threat, and the federal government began firing the 11,359 air-traffic controllers who had not returned to work. In addition, he declared a lifetime ban on the rehiring of the strikers by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). On August 17, the FAA began accepting applications for new air-traffic controllers, and on October 22 the Federal Labor Relations Authority decertified PATCO.

#2, I remember that very clearly. At Mountain Home AFB Idaho at the time; fortunately with great sunny VFR weather 95% of the time. Would climb to 17,500 feet, just below the Positive Control Airspace of 18000 for cruise to/from whatever chunk of airspace or low-level route we were using that day. Our Approach Control and towers were manned by military folks. A lot of military controllers were sent TDY to civilian towers, RAPCONs and Centers all over the country to man their facilities until the new hires were trained up. Reagan was about 6 months into his first term. This set the tone and it worked well. The Deep State wasn't quite so deep then, I guess.

Just what this Country is more Ketanji Brown Jackson's and her lack of knowledge about what the Constitution stands for. She NEVER should have gotten out of the hearing on her acceptability to be a lower court judge, let alone a Supreme. The LIBERAL Dems all have their heads way up somewhere were deductive reasoning comes into play. My opinion; not only cannot the liberal mind reason, but their minds will not even try to reason.

This was a setup by the union and its members to intimidate and damage the employer. It was justly decided. When every Justice, including the liberals, vote the same way except for Jackson that just tells you she doesn’t understand the law.

Well if the leftist, progressive, and socialist Democrats ever manage to get four or five more Ketanji Brown Jackson thinking Justices on the US Supreme Court, this country in short order through the current DC “UniParty System” would be transformed into some sort of undefined one political party run social utopia. You can safely bet on that!

#3: my aunt was one of those controllers and getting fired gob-smacked her. She thought as a federal employee she was guaranteed a job for life no matter what. When she came over to cry on Dad's shoulder, I excused myself, went into the back yard, and had a good laugh.

BLUFFTON, S.C. — Just one week after announcing his run for president, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis kicked off his South Carolina campaign trail Friday in Beaufort County. Hundreds of people, and a handful of protesters, showed up to Okatie Ale House in Bluffton, ready to greet the latest Republican candidate to join the 2024 race. “I’m still undecided. There are a lot of good people running on the Republican field, I think you probably get a better feel for the person in person,” said Sun City resident Faye Shullz.

Florida governor and 2024 presidential hopeful Ron DeSantis (R) shouted down a protester who interrupted his speech during a campaign stop in South Carolina Friday. “Unfortunately, there’s bad stuff that’s getting into the schools. There’s pornography that’s getting into schools. So the parents have had to blow the whistle in Florida,” he said during the speech in Lexington as a protester began to interrupt, talking back to the governor. “They’ve had to, they’ve had t0 — yeah. Well, thank you. Thank you,” DeSantis said as the crowd booed the protester. DeSantis then looked in the protester’s direction and spoke to the individual directly.

DES MOINES, Iowa — Former President Donald Trump returned to Iowa this week for a campaign swing focused on rallying his base. Thursday included a series of grassroots-style stops where the former president shook hands, took questions from the crowd and engaged in the retail politics Iowa is known for. During a campaign event in Grimes, Trump told KCCI Chief Political Reporter Amanda Rooker he has "total support" from Iowa faith leaders. The former president met with dozens of local pastors for a private lunch Thursday afternoon. "They were very thankful for what I've done with Roe v. Wade, obviously, and give me total support.

Last week I noticed a tweet that caught my attention because it announced the support of a wealthy Texan for Ron DeSantis. It said that Joe Lonsdale, a venture capitalist & one of the founders of Palantir, is endorsing DeSantis. He has “tons of connections across tech + politics.” DeSantis is coming to Texas next week for a three-day fundraising trip, his first since declaring his candidacy. He will do well. Nikki Haley is also coming to Texas next week for the same reason. Some of Texas’ biggest Republican donors are getting behind Ron DeSantis as he plans his first fundraising trip to Texas as a presidential candidate.

Washington — President Joe Biden addressed the nation from the Oval Office on Friday evening – his first time speaking to the country directly from that setting – to take credit for securing a compromise measure that raises the federal borrowing limit and avoids a catastrophic default. In his remarks, Biden said the agreement amounted to proof that the type of bipartisanship he promised as a candidate to seek was not only still possible but essential to avoiding disaster. He told Americans the package ensures economic progress going forward and amounts to a “crisis averted.”

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer demanded the document be turned over to his committee and FBI Director Christopher Wray at first said no and then later agreed to a compromise. As Jazz pointed out yesterday, the compromise was to allow Comer and the ranking Democrat on the committee to come to FBI headquarters to view the document. Chairman Comer said that wasn’t good enough and today it appears Directory Wray has made a new offer: The FBI is scheduled to bring an internal law enforcement document

The stock was demoted from overweight, which means the broker has a positive outlook on the company’s prospects due to its current share price and that the stock is considered a strong buy, to neutral, which means the broker believes the investor should hold the stock as its price may not change.

And the New York Times offers its stenographic services as well. Disney filed a lawsuit against the State of Florida earlier this year over the dismantling of the Reedy Creek tax district, even before the state legislature arguably mooted the issue with new statutory authority for the replacement district. When they did so, they filed the suit in the Northern District rather than the Middle District, which covers Orlando and the tax district. Florida countersued in the Middle District. Why did Disney choose the Northern District? Its chief judge, Mark E. Walker, has long expressed hostility to Ron DeSantis and sympathy for Disney — even on the record in court.

California employers are on the hook for the fund’s $20 billion debt in the form of higher payroll taxes that threaten employee-heavy small businesses and restaurants already devastated by California Democrats’ strict COVID-19 lockdowns.
