This is one reason Union membership is a valuable component of American politics.
The demise of Union power corresponds to.the demise of the American Dream.
"Right-To-Work" is a LIE. "You have no Rights and you work for ME." (Very popular in the South, where Labor has always been stolen.)
How fucking stupid do you have to be to think you can go up against a Corporation alone in a Labor dispute?
Fatally Stupid is the answer from the back of the book.
Your kids deserve better.
