For those yelling about Unions being better than what this guy did:
Unions were always the compromise. We've watched as corporations fight tooth and nail against unions, even closing locations and laying people off to quash them. Our union protections in the US are pathetically weak, especially with the current regime.
Workers used to get beaten and threatened when they tried to advocate for better conditions. Eventually workers would start burning down their workplaces like this guy. In extreme cases they would kill the factory owner or foreman. If the conditions are unbearable and voices aren't being heard, people will get desperate and do unthinkable things.
For their sake, let's hope the business and corporate types remember this before the bread or circuses run out.
Yep. The alternative to no unions or worker's rights is people dragging Jeff Bezos out of his mansion, beating him to death in front of his family, and then burning the house down.
People need to plan en mass if they want to scare these psychopathic billionaires properly. Took 30k Dubliners burning down the British embassy to drive out the British in Ireland.
A Reign of Terror redux would be ... um ... yeah, I'd be ok with that
Yeah unions are a better deal for everyone. I hope the business owners come around to that as workers acting on discontent increases
They've already run out.
They do, and they will try and do just enough to not get killed.
We get the crumbs, while they get the whole pie.
