Ten hour work days, six day weeks, get sick and miss a day and you're unemployed, a truly minimum subsistence wage (if the kids and wife work too), no benefits of any kind, child labor, unsafe working conditions, maiming and death if you dare complain and try to organize, and so on. See Industrial Revolution, particularly in England.

Will agree a lot of those guys go too far but it's not of evil intent. They are pretty big on that love your neighbor thing.

That's the way is was in the US in years past. That's why the unions got strong. They were needed at the time. The problem is that after the problems were fixed, they couldn't give up their power and wealth.


Bingo. Serving two masters ....
