So sad seeing people hurt others who're just trying to get their fair share and make a slightly better life for themselves and their family

propaganda is a hell of a drug.

Again with the motherfucking passive voice! Yet again, car violence gets minimized by the piece of shit headline writers.

No, strikers were not "hit by vehicle," you sniveling sorry excuse for a "journalist!" A driver propelled his two-ton piece of heavy machinery into them. Quit minimizing the perpetrator's agency just because he used a car as his attempted-murder weapon!

I am sick and tired of this car-supremacist propaganda.

You just know this asshole was driving a car manufactured by UAW members.

Don't forget that we have 8 hour workdays, weekends off, payed time off and other benefits all thanks to union efforts. All of them we take granted for. They were not granted because of the kindness of employers.

And for a view into what jobs could look like without unions "interfering" with the owners' wishes, look at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire. That factory had long hours, horrible working conditions, doors locked to prevent workers from leaving (the owners claimed it was to keep employees from stealing scraps of fabric), and more. When a fire broke out, nobody could open the doors to escape and close to 150 workers died. Many fell to their deaths because they got to high windows and jumped out - hoping to survive the fall rather than be burned alive.
