Protests and pickets are not supposed to be so confined that no one notices. Rosa Parks went to jail twics because organizing a boycott was illegal. We can no longer allow the laws set up to protect the rich to stop us. Shame on the police and the police union for being used to bust unions for bezos
Modern day Pinkertons. Speaking of which: www.npr.org/2020/11/30/9...
This has been a thing for well over a century now. The police exist to protect private property and the interests of capital, and everything else is propaganda. They've been allowed (even encouraged) to unionize by the powers that be as a reward for being their footsoldiers in breaking other strikes
Because the NYPD was formed from oligarchs' private armies of original union busters. bsky.app/profile/hell...

Weve been sleeping, the Amazon empire is like a disease youtu.be/TaKrm5txGCQ?...
People are striking for fairness. Cops act as enforcers for corporations. They arrest strikers to protect profits over people. This is a system that sides with capital over labor. FTP labornotes.org/2024/12/cops...
Unionized NYPD cops busting a picket line is fucking crazy. Scabs get picked. Rats end up in traps. youtu.be/NriOZ6ofj_Q?...
