Is the Michigan thing the death knell of the American labor movement?

6. Yes... because people forget.

They'll forget until wages fall, when dangerous factory work is the only game in town, when people are so poor they have to work together as a family to make ends meet, child and adults alike, when a decent education is completely unattainable, when health care is out of reach of everyone but the very wealthiest, when they have no time for down time, when "benefits" like lunch breaks become luxuries...

You know, my dad's dad was an original Sit Down striker (1937). Hard to imagine, that organized labor rose and fell in the relatively brief span of my own dad's lifetime.

I haven't been able to call him to talk because I'm afraid we'll both break down.
