  • most of you anti-union do not know the history of the labor movement, the reason why we have weekends off, holidays, 40 hours a week and 8 hours shifts is because union activists fought and died in the 20's 30's and 40's for all of us union or non-union workers could enjoy all these and many other benefits you bunch of ignorant bastards

  • Low wages = high profits.

    Globalisation is the internationalisation of exploitation. The more desperate people are, the less they will work for. Capitalism requires low standards of living for a massive part of the population. And when people start asking why they are in poverty, what are they told? Blame people of a different colour, migrants, or people on benifits. Anything to direct people away from an understanding of political economy.

  • What year was this video made? I'd like to know...PLEASE... Thank you so much for posting.

  • Yeah, I agree with click2rank.

  • read "the failure of the liuna internal reform" to learn about unions

  • @BigBishop1 it is all about me, lazy ass. you probably think jobs get shipped overseas because of "the greedy CEO's" too. don't you, you lazy dickhead? unions are just another corporate business.

  • before the unions you would be fired for smiling on the job or talking to a co worker at the ford motor co.

  • @bucko60 its all about you huh? suck ass

  • The problem now days is that most of us have it good enough that we don't recognize what unions actually did for us all. Weekends off, paid holidays, paid vacation, protection from unsafe working conditions, seniority, overtime calculation, defined labor agreements, etc. etc...... Do we have to go backwords to move ahead? I for one hope not! Brush up on your labor history or be doomed to repeat it.

  • Pyscame hit the nail on the head.
