This doesn't read like seething to me.
Like, it's great that people are unionizing, because even if there's the best possible relationship between businesses and labor, the union still makes that relationship more equitable.
But that doesn't mean that the creation of the union has to be viewed as hostility between labor and business.
I'll be interested to see if their good reputation holds up to pressure,but as of right now I haven't heard anything that makes me want disbelieve their statement.
Of course it does. The IWW isn’t a yellow union. It understands that this is a class war, not a class “collaboration.” The capitalists certainly think it’s a class war.
Hell, labor and business is already a hostile relationship even without a union, which is why unions exist. Any boss that doesn't act as if it's class war is a chump who won't be able to get funding from traditional institutions (banks, shareholders, etc).
Do these downvoters work for the Pinkertons? 😂
People really defending a corporation like it's their friend or something.
