    Dude, there has not been an instance in the modern day of businesses literally “hiring muscle to break strikes.”

    If you genuinely believe that businesses can hire people to use physical force against strikers, then you’re simply not paying attention to the world around you.

    Unfortunately, the latter case is true for most people on these sites.

      It was done in the past with Pinkertons in the past, why would you expect it to be any different today? Instead of hiring muscle, they just use the already there, and already established police to break up strikes and protests.

        Yeah. There was also slavery in the past.

        Why should I expect it to be any different now? It’s not like anything changes, ever. Lol.
