I'm surprised we haven't heard more about him, given that unions are now constitutionally enshrined.
That reminds me, does the Progressive Party (or the Socialist Party) have any official links with unions the way the British Labour Party does (or did)?
I'll get to the rest later.
Yes, the PFL, Socialists, and Commonwealth have numerous union groups officially aligned with them. On a much smaller scale, the GOP even does too.
What's the most prominent unions affiliated to the PFL, Socialists, Commonwealth and Republicans?
Lost Freeway
Banned
Reminder that Constitutional amendments can be overturned by subsequent amendments.
Yes, but only if the amendment proves to be an indisputable abject failure like Prohibition. Which this one probably won't be.
There's a reason why the Constitution has only been amended 17 times in 227 years. It requires such a ridiculous amount of consensus that you could call for an amendment that acknowledges the Earth is round and it still wouldn't muster the necessary support.
Considering barely a majority of U.S. States at the present are right-to-work states, and considering that unions will be stronger when there are zero right-to-work states, it will be difficult to assemble a 3/4 majority to pass an amendment to that effect.
There is no King George VI; butterflies prevented Edward VIII from meeting Wallis Simpson and he is still king.
