Medieval Times delayed the union election date by contesting that only Knights and Squires should be allowed in the union, excluding the show cast and stables department, according to Medieval Times Performers United California on Aug. 18.

Sounds EXACTLY like what my husband’s employer tried to do when they voted to unionize. The workers wanted everyone in the newsroom included (photographers, copy editors, etc.), but the corporate hedge fund owners tried to exclude everyone other than reporters. NLRB sided with the workers, and then the owners filed an appeal with the NLRB and lost.

…since juvenile offenders are charged as adults in other cases, radicalization / exploitation are increasing, and this has caused a lot of harm:

The radicalization of young white men has been incredibly destructive to the country. And of course, young Black men are MORE likely to be charged AS adults, so… :unamused:
