    The bigger issue is that unions have let this shit slide for he last seventy years without offering even the most meager resistance to it.

    To be fair, unions were targeted by COINTELPRO and its offshoots. You had literal feds infiltrating unions to do ghoul shit. And the unions not targeted by the FBI were targeted by the mafia and Pinkertons.

    Anyone who had the backbone to show solidarity was either killed or imprisoned. Employers used both legal and illegal methods of destroying unions with impunity.
