      That’s not the United States exploiting them. It’s their employers exploiting them and them not unionizing because they’ve been brainwashed into thinking unions are bad.

        How do you not think that the government isn’t the capitalist state? The one who regulates commerce among capitalists, and those rules get put in by input from the collective capitalists. They are one and the same.

          While we should be doing more to protect and support unionization, when results are different based on where you are, those people need to take some responsibility. I know some of the conservative states have it tough, but they operate under the same federal laws that Michigan does for autoworkers.

            The laws are the same, the context is different. It’s one thing to unionize of you live in state with job options. It’s another when the one factory employs the entire town.

            That isn’t to say they aren’t somewhat responsible. Just that we can’t expect the same performance given that disability.
