I meant the idea that workers can simply get another job, not to mention 
getting another job after they've been fired for organizing. Oh. Yeah.

The first thing I was taught was how to avoid getting in trouble by saying 
anything bad about a former employee. I was then promptly taught how to 
subtly convey that they sucked or were bad risks if someone called for a 
ref check. Never used the tactic, but it's SOP.

Also, if you think workers are going to give anyone the time of day if they 
have to listen to some harange about how fucking privileged they are, 
you're crazier than a 'runned over dawg."
