Is 100% accurate. As a labor leader back in the day, I saw firsthand the never ending manipulation, badgering, and disinformation campaign toward union organizing. Joe Biden is on the right track to finally go after these assholes on the other side of the labor management equation. Bravo to him, you go Joe.

right-to-work laws and discourage unions. Also stronger labor laws. I was able to retire early because I worked for a company with a union workforce and got a pension and decent wages. That is the exception for most people these days with the possible exception of government workers.
I blame a lot of it on the election of Reagan and his busting of the unions in the 80's. Greed is good became the mantra of America and it hasn't gotten any better.
Inequality has not been this bad since the industrial revolution.
