30. When those same factories are cutting pensions, healthcare and salaries...

...and jobs, to increase their profits?

That is the republican 'Right to work' position.

That states the 'right' to be actively working overrides concerns like fair compensation.

In the 1930s many factories were struck. It hurt their bottom line and forced them to bargain with the unions.
