Alrighty then. How 'bout assigning them excerpts of Robert Justin
Goldstein's Political Repression in Modern America from 1870 to 1976 to show that while
everyone thinks U.S. workers are a bunch of wimps and sycophants (cause we
live in such a "free" society, see? so we should be able to organize, right?)
we're really not. If we had Canadian labor law we'd have Canadian unionization
rates.
