@tgraph52 There's a reason why these cases are brought in Texas. The Fifth Circuit (Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi) is the Trumpiest Federal Judicial Circuit.

@Coctaanatis

JFC this is an assault on workers.

There is NOTHING reasonable or helpful about these โ€œagreementsโ€โ€”they are an assault on our right to work for who. We. Want.

These are nothing but indentured servitude agreements. I remember one salesperson that they said he couldnโ€™t leave because they would enforce that agreement. He said, โ€œFUCK YOU, Iโ€™D RATHER AT MCDONALDSโ€

Republican Judges are there, not for Justice, but to ensure we are beaten down.
