@Javensbukan@cosocial.ca @gabrielesvelto@mas.to If Americans fought for the right to unionize then your country might look very different.
The unions have a history written in blood in many countries.

@UlrikNyman@mastodon.social @gabrielesvelto@mas.to Agreed. Here in Canada our watershed union moment was in 1919. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winnipeg_general_strike?wprov=sfla1

@UlrikNyman@mastodon.social They did fight. They lost. You may want to read on the Coal Wars in general. They've got the right to unionize from FDR when he got elected in the aftermath of the Depression. @Javensbukan@cosocial.ca @gabrielesvelto@mas.to
