This is the attorney who runs https://nlrbresearch.com (which is run on Datasette) and the AI assistant (Claude Skill) that is tied to it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOa3Pc8RD40

A cancer center [1] is resorting to these tactics? Based in Seattle?!

Here is their leadership team and Board: https://www.fredhutch.org/en/about/about-the-hutch/leadershi.... If you're in the area, or if you know a patient, I'd e-mail them a copy of this blog post.

Of course they are. It's a good reminder that non-profits are very often just an arm of capital, whatever their legal status is, and that they will exercise capital's authority to try to suppress workers' rights.

Amazing. Next is automating this, automatically or manually gathering all domains they have registered, and spinning up Claude to register a similar domain and creating the counter website.

This is honestly hilarious and I applaud the excellent use of Claude Code for the malicious compliance with their demands.

> malicious compliance

This isn't malicious compliance. It's over-the-top compliance. He has no requirement to comply with their random demands. He does anyway.

This is delightful. I know he's not paid to do this but I would gladly donate to this.

He's being harassed by a law firm, not the mob. If someone shows up to do him harm they will be from the government because the law firm will have contrived government process to that end.

Shooting at them while they're on the clock is generally not wise.

They mostly switched to ruining your life but it's got a long history. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_worker_deaths_in_Unite... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-union_violence_in_the_Uni...

It's not that far fetched to assume that someone could be in physical danger after ruffling the feathers of a company that has hired a union busting firm. Union Busters have a long history of employing gun violence against striking workers.

I wonder how this will be received. Since AI has come up, I think pro-union sentiment has been at a an all time high. How do you feel, HN?
