Reply #33: "after they'd taken over the GM factories in Flint"

That's part of the issue right there. That kind of shit KILLED union causes. In the short term, it always looked like a good thing because it won concessions. But it also turned A LOT of people off of unions.

Union causes had enough merit in their own right without taking 1)taking over someone else's property, 2)shutting down that person's ability to use their property and 3)denying others the right to work that job if they wanted to. All those 3 things did is fire up conservatives and sway some independent minds in the other direction.
