(1,663 posts)Whenever I do I get a ton of emails from Clinton supporters. No one wants to admit that there are democrats who sold out labor. The Clintons should not take the entire blame because there some on the left also pushing this.
Some of them were saying labor in America would not suffer, that American workers had it great compared to other countries and should stop complaining, and ignored all arguments that the global economy would have a devastating affect on hard fought labor rights. Sometimes I wonder if they truly believed it or were paid to believe it.
Also, this is not completely the work of America. Leaders in these countries openly boasted they were willing to ignore regulations to not "hamper" corporations. The fabricated image of the "spoiled" American worker was the selling point. Along with desperately poor people in their countries who believed the lie about lazy Americans. They sold their people as cheap and abundant labor and many of their workers originally went along.
The only good thing is these multinational corporations are now being globally exposed as ruthless entities.
