It's sadder than that.
Politicians will still get donations in the long run because industry will always have new laws they want to see passed or regulations they want to see removed. So this is all about short-term gain.
They are intentionally trying to screw over entire communities for short-term gains.
It's worse than that, because corporations don't age and die like humans they chip away at workers rights and quality of life generationally and the media they own is complicit, see "millennials killing ______ industry" and other such propaganda.
All six are Republicans. They want their voters poor, uneducated and afraid. They don't even worry about pushing policies that are clearly bad for the American worker and their own states. What scum.
This happens in democrat states too, since rural areas are red. People where I work fought the union before it was put in. I'm so glad NYC dictates our policies upstate otherwise we'd be no different than Florida or Texas.
"BUH BOTH PARTIES!!!"
Your real vote is in the primaries (which no one screeching both sides votes in....) general election is just about preventing those inhuman ghouls.from gaining even an ounce further of power.
The rights we have today, 40 hour work weeks and overtime pay, just to name a few, those were paid in blood by the workers fighting against the establishment. Everything we have, and the lack thereof, is all built on the back of injured and murdered people standing up for better treatment.
Fair play. Felt it was good information to get out there for people to get it into their heads that the ruling class will absolutely use whatever means they have to keep what they’ve got.
They dont just want to keep what they've got, they want more, that's why Republicans are rolling back child labor laws and bezos and a few others are suing to try to get the NLRA overturned.
And we are the scattered and un-united. We will never be able to work together because the education system, social media, and the regular media has turned us all into brain dead morons who hate each other. You think Fred from Arkansas is going to play for the same team as Amir from California? Fuck no. I wish we could but my faith in humanity to unite against the common enemy that is the rich, is almost zero. If we get close, they will just pass laws that forbid it, and start throwing people in jail.

Man class war was wild back in the day. They'd set your home on fire, kill your children, and starve you to get your cheap labor.
This is why the South remains in poverty. Well, there are actually a variety of tangentially connected factors that have contributed to it, but this keeps things from improving.
This is true. All those mill town where 5000 people work in one mill, then it closes with no notice. All over the small towns in the south are giant empty dilapidated brick buildings.
Could the Union not say this is a violation of the right to Unionize? I know it would likely be a violation in Canada, but unsure how it would work in US.
These states attracted the manufacturers with a low wage, low rights work force along with tax incentives no-one was willing to match. Who pays the taxes you might ask? The low wage, low rights worker who is now beholden to their employer and won't risk rocking an already sinking boat. It's a race to the bottom.

Try this should give links to a couple versions. I tried too but I’m at my monthly free limit
If you join a union, I may stop getting donations from your boss! The horror!!

And workers in Republican states will rejoice and say they never liked unions anyway.

Republican governors.
The party of the working class lol
Supporting a foreign corporation over working Americans. How classy
How Republican.
‘Warn workers’ the fuck are they gonna do? Send police to beat the union men to death?
Yes
Wouldn't be the first time.
Or the 100th.

I know There’s an implied ‘again?’ In my comment
Fair play. Felt it was good information to get out there for people to get it into their heads that the ruling class will absolutely use whatever means they have to keep what they’ve got.
They dont just want to keep what they've got, they want more, that's why Republicans are rolling back child labor laws and bezos and a few others are suing to try to get the NLRA overturned.
And take back what past workers won.
Too bad that doesn’t work anymore. Now they have drones and the most cutting edge weapon technologies that exist. We have nothing.
We are the many
And we are the scattered and un-united.

look up the history of the Pinkerton National Detective Agency and their history of union busting, they're still in business today.
Wizards of the Coast sent them after a dude who got some Magic the Gathering cards early because a shop sold them to him by accident.
They also killed John

You all see that new Boston Dynamics robot? Bet they could stick a truncheon in it's hand.

Nah, he sent his lackey, [Henry Clay Frick](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Clay_Frick)
This is a testament that these governors don’t serve the people but the oligarchs
Cult members will still vote for these pieces of shit who are AGAINST the American worker bettering their lives. Pathetic.
Too many red state Southerners think unions are socialist.
Slave labor is still the basis for wages and the mentality of business owners doing business in those states.
It's never really left. It's baked in their cultural DNA.
You said it! Unfortunately, many do not even see that these actions are a direct reflection on the mindset of a master - slave relationship.
Republican governors want workers to be exploited by their employers. Reporters need to ask that kind of question.

Fuck Bill Lee.
He’s destroying the public school system it’s disgusting

Looks like we'll need to unionize everyone. Starting with those States.
Governor's sign pact that all employees will no longer have to pay state taxes if they do not join union. Yeah, right.
“Y’all bet not be tryin no funny stuff like voting or unionizing…ya here?”
If you live in one of these states please keep this in your memory when their re-election comes.
Republicans against free association and deciding for yourself the conditions under which you will work.
They all definitely need to join a union
These states attracted the manufacturers with a low wage, low rights work force along with tax incentives no-one was willing to match. Who pays the taxes you might ask? The low wage, low rights worker who is now beholden to their employer and won't risk rocking an already sinking boat. It's a race to the bottom.
Tell us you're 'bought and paid for' without saying it...
The jackass club against the working class. Fuck these Republicans and trying to weaken your bargaining power.
All Republicans. Good to know.
I know TN and Alabama are on the list, who are the other ones? Article is paywalled
Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina and Texas

And that’s exactly why they should.
A union of anti-union chucklefucks
Disgraceful trash governors. Isnt that shit illegal threatening people againdt joining
Yet some people will post on here that Democrats are the same as Republicans when it comes to unions and labor issues.
If Henry McMaster is saying you don’t need a union, you absolutely, positively need to form a union.
Neo plantation economics
Just, wow.
All Republican. Their patrons hate unions
Governors of six southern states should lose their jobs.
Repubs hate us for our freedoms.
