Henry Ford implemented the forty hour work week, the 8 hour day, weekends off and doubled the wages of his employees all without the caring and compassion of the unions.
Double what? The point of Ford’s factory assembly line was to replace highly paid well trained mechanics with unskilled low pay workers. So double low wages is still low wages. And it’s not like you can take your work home with you.
All that said, unions did their job 40 years ago and have been a cancer ever since. Fuckem.
