>The workplace here and now is far kinder and gentler than almost any time or place in history (with the possible exception of contemporary, developed nations). We had kinder and gentler workplaces 30-40 years ago. We can thank the business community for destroying our unions for that, and neoliberal economists for providing a plausible sounding rationale for why it was in our best interests. Also, while we haven't quiet brought back debtors prisons, child labor, back breaking labor and 18 hours days, we are certainly headed squarely in that direction.
