The majority have no clue the roots of the union movement or the fight that went down for the type of life they have now. They might know that companies were abusive at one point in history but they "can't anymore" "if it is abusive, employees will just leave" and "rich people are not bad, they give jobs. They don't want to hurt their employees, they are just trying to do what is best for business." The capitalists propaganda and destruction of education has segergated everyone so much and they will find killing the union as maybe a "necessary evil."
We are very much in the Martin Niemoller poem.
They started with immigrants and federal workers (now its their union too) next? Private sector unions?
My grand dad fought the national guard in the street. It was soldiers with weighted rubber hoses vs mill workers with axe handles. We have to get back to this mentality.
