6. I wonder what the pay ratio was

CEO to worker.

I don't think I've ever seen a place that went with all part time employees while the executives made a bundle. But then again, I don't get around very much anymore.

These mill workers should have formed a union, that's the ticket. I'm certain the managers would have been glad to deal in good faith with them and their reps.

Or the workers could have applied for safety net benefits, like food stamps etc. India is big on those.

Or they could have written their elected representatives. That usually works.

btw, alot of the above is sarcasm. I wonder how many times the factory owners used the police to bust heads.

I think this shows what happens when people are pushed too far. At least the police chief assured business leaders that "union" violence would not be tolerated.
