I knew a few of the "old time" labor tough guys. They were far higher up

I am betting you did not really know much about the terrorists who
"organized" companies in the old days.
Arson, intimidation and the general destruction of corporate property
was not unusual.
Don't forget, I grew up with those old guys in the Teamsters.


Petty crimes compared to the horror perpetrated these days by
mulltinational corporations.



I am thinking that global markets and multinational corporations are a
bit more complex for you to understand given your card carrying union
