    You can also form a union. On top of the raise and CoLA you and your coworkers negotiate into your contract, you make people like Cruz, Trump, and Christie seethe

        They can try, they’ll just make unions more radical. Look up the Texas Lumber War

          If it’s anything like the Battle of Blair Mountain we’re overdue for a reminder.

            I wanted to keep it regional, but yea this lumber war is known for the Grabow massacre that killed 3 union members and wounded 50.
