    As great news that this is, pretty fucked up that all of their very reasonable demands have to actually be negotiated for and aren’t just basic rights for workers

    Inb4 Hasbro lays off an entire division to avoid acknowledging the union.

      I know you’re just being cheeky, but union busting like this is extremely uncommon. Under current NLRB rules, it would quickly be ruled a ULP and would cause their union to be immediately recognized

          Yes. It will move slower because of funding and staffing cuts, but it will still pretty quick given the situation. Joy Silk was resurrected in a ruling in 2023, and has been the guiding principle of union elections since then
