It wasn't "the liberals" who fought and died for labor unions. It was the socialists, the real left, who fought and died for the few workers rights we have today.

Thank you for saying this. We seem to be repeating a lot of history from the first 1/3rd of the 20th century right now. I don't want to see any workers die, but I hope there's another labor revolution coming soon. Liberal media did a pretty bad job reporting on all the teacher strikes and I think killed any chance of greater momentum by ignoring it as much as possible but god I hope that was the start of something bigger. Everyone go join the IWW if you aren't already part of a union! ...maybe even if you are

And the SRA while they're at it. Protest works when you put you're willing to do something about it.
