Several weeks ago, I was at a meeting for the leaders of “We Are Ohio” member and allied groups in southwestern Ohio, and one of the featured speakers asked the following rhetorical question about the corporate-funded “right to work” campaigns:
“When was the last time that you heard of corporations spending millions of dollars to expand the rights and to improve the working conditions of the workers in their states?”
Henry Ford, when he first started out, paid his workers better-than-market wages, in exchange for their undying loyalty and performance.
His attitude toward workers suffered a horrible reversal over time, complete with Ford employing a cadre of goons to keep workers in line.
Reblogged this on Ohio Labor.
Exactly.
