It will hurt the young folks organizing at Starbucks and the workers organizing at Amazon. It’s inexcusable and inexplicable that we did not prioritize confirming the NLRB appointees like we do federal judges and have ceded the Board two years before we needed to.

The term of our previous NLRB Chair, Lauren McFerran, just expired on December 15th. She was eligible for reconfirmation alongside a Republican, who'd be paired with her. This would've secured a 3-2 Democratic majority on the NLRB for the first two years of Trump's second term.…

The statement 'Infuriating ineptitude' is a critical response to a detailed discussion about the failure to confirm NLRB appointees, which has significant implications for labor rights and union activities. The tone is one of frustration and criticism, aimed at the perceived mishandling of a political process that affects public policy and worker rights.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement expresses frustration but does not use harmful language. It is a critique of actions rather than individuals, aligning with the principle of doing no harm with words. [+1]
  2. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement is a form of criticism but lacks constructive elements. It does not engage in personal attacks, but it also does not offer solutions or engage in dialogue, which limits its constructiveness. [-1]
