Well, I suspect that workers' rights will be systematically reduced (as is already happening) until we reach a tipping point, and workers are going to have to refight the battles that were fought by the early workers' movement all over again.

There are enough people (workers and otherwise) that take for granted all the benefits that unions fought to earn over the years, and I honestly wonder how much the population at large even knows about the struggles that took place to gain the benefits workers have now.

Unfortunately, I'm afraid things are going to have to get really bad before people rise up again to fight for fair treatment - and the bloodshed associated with the early labor movement may have to be repeated.
