It'll only come back if folks get desperate enough. union activity wasn't exactly "illegal" in the old days but it wasn't exactly protected by any laws, either, as attested by all the private goons that the mining companies hired out to break up strikes and murder striking miners
- dragonwriter 1y ago> union activity wasn't exactly "illegal" in the old days Having a union wasn't, on its own, illegal but it gave no special status, but most union activity was illegal, and as soon as the union jointly planned that activity it became a criminal conspiracy.
