the misinformation about the history and functions of unions that's become retro-dogma in the states since the reagan period is really astonishing. for example, that unions would be blamed for the transformation of production and/or distribution of commodities since the 80s is entirely symptomatic of this reactionary disinformation passed off as common sense.
you'll notice in the article a real distinction between scumbag outfits like walmart and places like whole foods or starbucks, which at least make the pretense of including unions as stakeholders...
no time at the moment. maybe more later.
