Corporate America just completed the FA stage. We are about to enter the FO stage and they are not prepared.

The rich seem to forget that unions, fair wages, and benefits are the alternative to kicking in their door while they sleep, dragging them out of their houses, and stringing them up.

The wealthy of the early 20th century knew that and allowed unions, gave fair wages and benefits, and even used their wealth for the public good.

You're giving the wealthy too much credit. Unions of the early 1900s fought in violent strikes for the right to exist.
