    I’m pretty real sure that it’s not giving the workers’ paychecks back to the bosses. “Hey, we’re gonna take your money and give it back to the people you hired us to defend you against! Whaddyasay, Bro?..”

      the union doesn’t defend worker rights, workers do, the union is an organizational structure to assist and organize the striking workers both inwardly facing and externally facing, and part of that external facing is paying $7 to have the blue checkmark.

      and you certainly don’t “hire” a union

        Wait, you were just talking about the blue check all this time?? That’s even sillier…the blue check has no actual value; Musk removed that long ago. Next, ge needs to oay back the $7 he stole from the union by denying the purchesed product. What’s happening here is 1) consumer fraud and 2) political activism on Musk’s part.
