Unionists didn’t use violence because they didn’t have “legal protection,” they did it because capitalists and police would break their bodies either if they worked or resisted. They’d call in militias to bash unionist skulls, they’d pay them in scrip and prevent them or their children from ever freeing themselves.
Those are all illegal now. That’s why unionizing works now where it didn’t before.
I don’t buy your concern for these communities at all, have you tried to check if there was any harm?
I live in California. Air quality is always an issue, whether it’s from wildfires or avgas from local airports. These cause real health issues, and the latter causes measurable IQ drops in the poor communities surrounding those airports. Industrial fires are something we need to worry about just like Tehranis have to worry about oil refinery fires.
yes. the strong union protections in California is why Tesla opened all their manufacturing in California and hasn’t busted any attempts to unionize those factories. so glad you know better the history of labor in california than the workers there fighting for their rights
Tesla is moving as much manufacturing out of California as it can. The only reason it started in California was that there was already a factory there from a company that had already vacated it years ago after it had unionized, the only unionized Toyota plant in the U.S. to this day. Tesla was more interested in getting manufacturing started as quickly as possible than it was in reducing costs, so it took over an existing factory instead of building one in a “right to work” state and paid workers enough not to unionize or stop work. Now that Tesla has factories in Texas, it has shut down production of the Model X and Model S, which were produced in California, in hopes of eventually vacating or replacing entirely with robot workers, which are the only thing they’re making there now.
Dude, I already told you I’m in California. I know what’s happening here.

Unionbusting, like racism, totally not a problem anymore… izzat what you’re saying?
Not in California. Air pollution causing health problems is a real problem though.
