Who didn't read that in Jr High or High School?
The truth is the union movement began in the very late 1800s and was relatively impotent. It faltered on and off thru the early 1900s, but gaining in the 1920s culminating with the Wagner Act in the mid 1930s, giving unions gov sanctions. If I remember correctly the height of union membership was 1959 and has been steadily declining ever since. Granted, the increased wealth of the middle class and the rise of unions coincide with WWII and it's aftermath leaving the USA with the only standing industrial base.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.
