"On the Waterfront", which paints unions as corrupt and violent, plays on TV very frequently... no wonder. The director, Kazan, was one of the Hollywood ten who became a rat and survived the blacklist. Ratting wasn't enough? Then he made waterfront. Union bashing is about all that media monopolies will ever show.
Where can one hear anything good about unions on tv or radio... or hear much at all? One exception, Sally Fields made a pro-union movie and got away with it. Brando probably didn't know what we was doing.
If young people support unions, our rulers could direct more union bashing their way; but support for unions will export jobs, and the workers are not internationally mobile like the jobs. Owners of the world are united. Workers of the world just gave them the idea.
