Thays the best case scenario. I'm just hoping that our bought-and-paid-for SCOTUS doesn't decide to rule in favor of the companies on a party line vote.
That would effectively transition companies in the US to be above the law with regards to workers rights. Unions would stop being a thing when companies can legally just fire everyone who tries. Pay discrepancies would always fall in favor of the payer. Forget about time off or Healthcare.
A ruling like that might set us back a century on worker's rights, and I'm genuinely afraid that our courts are capable of it.
