Very sad, because working people need to stick together. But anti-labor forces (plus the ineptitude and corruption of unions) have managed to split union and non-union workers and the employed and the unemployed by creating envy and resentment: if I don’t have a job, then you shouldn’t have any benefits. This is self-destructive for everybody, except for the extreme wealthy and for corporations that run the show. The last quote blows me away, where a woman says that we don’t really need unions anymore, because “there’s laws that protect us.” Obviously she’s incredibly (obtusely) naive, but the forces of economic domination have tricked her and many others like her. To quote the Pete Seeger’s song: “When will we learn, when will we ever learn?”
