The United Auto Workers union accelerated its strike Wednesday night in a last-minute move as it ordered nearly 9,000 workers at Ford's largest plant to walk off the job. Ford called the walk-out "grossly irresponsible."
At this point it’s a race to see whether the workers will band together before the magats go full fascist. This decade is about to get really interesting.
Same thing happening here. 20% of people voted for the fascists last election. Now they’re trying to pass a law forcing teachers, doctors, nurses, etc. to report illegal immigrants to the authorities.
Also, massive cuts to welfare, scrapped environmental goals. The list is expanding

Individual and collective laborers negotiating their contracts with businesses was always meant to be an integral part of a healthy capitalist society. This idea that individuals were meant to accept any shitty contract a corporation gives them and roll over happened because the government failed to do it’s job of regulating corporations from abusing their power.
The only hope i feel for the future of this country is workers unionizing. Its the only leverage the poor and middle class have. We need more unions.
