Igniting an American Worker Revolution
Tired of being underpaid, ignored, and trapped in a system designed to break you? I’m Randell Hynes—a 33-year tech veteran, experienced worker & family advocate, and U.S. Army Veteran who was laid off at 63 and forced to train my foreign replacement. I didn’t get mad. I got to work.
Here’s what you must know that unions and employers conceal: You already have union rights under Section 7 of the NLRA—even without a union. Federal law protects your right to organize, strike, and demand fair treatment. But protection exists only on paper. Any employer can violate these rights with near impunity because workers living paycheck to paycheck can’t risk income interruption. We’re scared!
This blog documents how 170 million American employees face a brutal reality: politicians on both sides are trapped in “pro-union vs. anti-union” ideology, betraying the 90% of workers who have collective action rights but zero protection from unlawful firing. Corporations exploit this legal void to silence workers and set exploitative wages, knowing the NLRB system moves too slowly to matter.
I’m not here to encourage collective action without protection—I can’t, in good conscience. When retaliation is swift and consequence-free for employers, showing workers their rights without protection would be reckless.
The solution is straightforward: Congress must pass a law creating meaningful, immediate, and financially prohibitive penalties for employer retaliation. Not someday. Now. Penalties severe enough to stop unlawful firing before it happens.
This is Day 0 of the Worker Rights Revolution—Until lawmakers deliver absolute retaliation protection, we document, expose, and build collective awareness that worker power exists—it has been criminalized by neglect.
We’re not waiting for perfect protection to start demanding change. We’re starting the revolution precisely because that protection doesn’t exist, and we’re done pretending otherwise.
