A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Are unions prepared for a return to ​“the law of the jungle?”

Are you fucking kidding? Are billionaires and the 1% prepared? The new deal is what historically stopped unions from just dragging bossman out on to the front lawn and beating him to death in front of his family.

Much faster to do that than convince everyone to organize.

I'd agree, but that was before the days of mass surveillance. People could expect to get away with mob justice back in the day. Today you'd be caught between dozens of cams and cell towers.

Which is why a full-on mob will be necessary. The police can choose a side, but we all know whose boots they lick
