    Collective Bargaining was the compromise.

    It was what we agreed to do instead of dragging our bosses out of their houses in the dead of night and beating them to death in front of their families.

    I feel like people don’t remember that as often as they should.

    One reason the GOP hated the Unions was that Labor would do a lot of ground level organizing for the Dems. Things like getting petitions signed; driving voters to the polls; putting up signs. The Left failed to step up its ground game when the unions were decimated.
