I mean, that's been an ongoing battle. It sure as hell wasn't going well in the 1920s and 1930s, then a bunch of shit happened to claw back rights and value for workers.

Some of those battles continue to be fought.

Those battles have not been going well for the last 40+ years as worker share of profits, power, and wealth disparity has been eroded pretty much every year.

But we have lots of bread and circuses so it's cool I guess.

They are kind of starting to forget about the bread part of Bread and Circus lately though
