Now I long for the morning that they realize
Brutality and unjust laws cannot defeat us
But who'll defend the workers who cannot organize
When the bosses send their lackeys out to cheat us?
Money speaks for money, the devil for his own
Who comes to speak for the skin and the bone?
What a comfort to the widow, a light to the child
There is power in a union
- collegeburner 4y agoyou realize that was one of the big reasons manufacturing left in the first place? yes hmm why not go unionize right away so nobody moves back after all.
- rfrey 4y agoIf the only way to bring manufacturing back is to copy the inhumane and dehumanizing conditions of "cheap labor" economies, then we're better off not bringing it back. By outsourcing our cruelty and indifference to suffering we can have the fruits without staring at it every day.
- collegeburner 4y agowow pretending that that's the only way it would happen without unions. the conditions there are more due to lack of health and safety regs than unions.
- hprotagonist 4y agoand pray, how do you think OSHA and friends came to be ..?
- mmcgaha 4y agoThe southern states are doing manufacturing without unions and without dehumanizing anyone. This isn't a binary choice.
- redanddead 4y agoYeah I'm sure those Kentucky warehouse workers felt human when that tornado helped the roof meet their heads
- mechanical_bear 4y agoUnion, fornicate thyself.
- jjtheblunt 4y agoor is there illiquidity in labor markets, and ensuing stagnation?
- legitster 4y agoHow would a union help here? For all their benefits, unions don't generally increase labor participation.
