    There has to be an unending vigilance, not just a fight because fights end. Older generations fought for workers rights with unions and their kids lazily let it slide away. The rich never stop taking because all they have to do hire people to lobby, lawyer, and manipulate for their ends. Workers have to continually push to take and keep their piece of the pie. Governments can make laws and rules to protect workers but those can be changed or weakened without vigilance. A good government official can help and their successor strip it away. Workers only strength is together. Collective action is the way but it’s a perpetual action.
