I will never understand how ppl can listen to politicians like that, while not being the head of a large corporation, and think that this is what they want.

I'm not really up to speed on auto manufacturing, are these cars not mostly assembled by robotics?

[Justwin]

Ford does not make the Fiesta for the US market and a base Fiesta is nowhere near $72,000 in USD.

He is an employer, so this is a threat against his employees. You don't have to be an employee to file a complaint.

The NLRB ruled against Ben Domenech who tweeted that if employees of The Federalist were to unionize he would "send them to the salt mines."  The 3rd circuit court apparently overturned that, but this seems like more straight forward on the contextual case because Tim Scott isn't joking.

if a lawmaker can't discuss what changes to the law he would like to see enacted, or if a candidate for president can't discuss what executive actions he would take if elected, that seems like a pretty insane abuse of power (and that power should correspondingly be reduced or removed).

Of course they can discuss changes to the law as long as they don’t threaten to fire workers for trying to unionize. You can advocate a change to the law without threatening to violate it.

And if you want to violate it to try and challenge it through the courts or as a means of civil disobedience, then this is step one.
