Fault Lines - The decline of labour unions in the US

[Thimmet]

It's always shocking and saddening to see that this kind of very important Al-Jazeera documentaries/news pieces have so few views. These should spread like wildfire, being that this subject for example is a very important one.

Even though Al-Jazeera shows these on their television channel too.

the agenda isnt to save jobs,or create jobs,the agenda is a corporate fascist,world government,with the U.S. de-industrialized...feudalism soon follows then despotism,and tyranny.

[krew666666]

this is all by design,making promises that cant be kept,funded by a government interested not in its citizens best interests,but by political power and international world government,a government funded by a federal reserve central bank.If it were not for the central bank none of this would be happening,it wouldnt have got this far....Fiat fractional reserve economies are desgined to fail....Our is failing....Some republicans,very few are trying to salvage the dollar,but its too late.

This is a great episode as usual, however, I'm sick of Americans who don't understand how unique the golden US era (1947-1973) was. America was the sole manufacturing power fully standing after WWII. We were also the ultimate supplier and consumer in the world. In essence, my parents generation lived in bubble, fictionalize reality of the world. Capital had to play this game until the rest of the world could catch up and now American workers are feeling the effect.

Union = Jobs going to South East Asia

@leeo268

Then they aren't jobs worth keeping.

Great Report. Watch out 1% the Unions and the 99ers are coming to get you.

How telling it is that Al Jazeera gives us a legitimate news piece on American labor while the big 3 networks give us shit about Kim Kardashian.

The solution to globalized corporatism is globalized unionism! WORKERS FROM LATIN AMERICA TO CHINA AND THE WORLD ORGANIZE AND DEMAND BETTER PAY AND CECNT PENSIONS FROM THOSE FILTHY PROFIT DRIVEN EXPLOITERS!

[francais197]

The american worker has been broken on the Anvil of corporate greed these last 150yrs, and now hopefully America can become a more egalitarian society, with the pressing need their ,for solidarity and unity...faced with Federal and Corparist power.

[TheRacistsMustDie]

@francais197 That would be the last 40 years when the real wages stopped rising for average working people not 150 years.

[Misterphooey]

yet another awesome episode of fault lines

[taxfatcats]

"Bring your business to Wisconsin" there are slaves, like in Africa, and torture chambers for the police state imposed sweatshop work ethic. If they don't behave, sheriff of Nottingham will nuke them with that uranium, he raped half of Iraq to get.

[MsCooperse]

these problems have faced and oppressed millions of people in the third world - now it's the u.s. turn to witness and suffer the problems and hopefully some positive results will come out of all these mess which can be shared with the rest of the world!

Zeina, why can't all journalist here in America be more like you

[TheRacistsMustDie]

I love how he says "companies" and not "corporations", that means he knows what he's talking about.
