It is the Government's place to regulate these types of abuses of labor by corporations. I think it was Eisenhower who used the military to protect striking workers from corrupt police trying to break up strikes. The last person to be sentenced to be hung, drawn and quartered was a labor activist in England. The tragedy is that the Supreme Court let this happen. As I far as I remember, the Supreme Court now contains a number of members who were selected by Bush. No surprise there then.

The middle-classes owes their position to the sacrifices of the labor movement of the past, yet many are sympathetic to the Supreme Court's decision and to Amazon's flagrant disrespect for workers. Workers in the West are more productive than ever before, but share less of the profits than any time since the last world war. Middle-class RIP.
