“Like a master, at once distinguished and barbarous, Capital drags with it into its grave the corpses of its slaves, whole hecatombs of workers, who perish in its economic crises.”

I'm not a Marxist, but you have to admit, he got a lot of things right.

in the evolution of our society. Working people went into the streets and had their blood shed protesting child labour, the 6 day 12 hour a day work weeks. But then to many unions went on to become corrupted too. How did this all begin and how will it end?

" They fixed it so I can't work for another employer," please.

Cus even in a union if they don't like you, they will make your life a living hell until you quit.

I worked in a place where most staff were in the Union, but others acting in supervisory type positions were outside of the Union. For years Administration would match successful Union negotiations for the exempt staff in terms of pay raises and benefits etc. to make things fair. It usually worked well and the two sides got along famously for a long time. E.G. in the rare case of a strike, I brought donuts and coffee for the cold picketers when I had to cross the line to go in to work. No one minded. We were all work friends. One down side of the Union was when seniority was the only criteria for filling a specialized position. Sometimes we'd end up with someone who couldn't do the job adequately because they weren't suited to the position. On the other hand, occasionally Admin wouldn't pay enough attention to the specific grievances of the supervisory people and they'd push forward with their initiatives regardless. Some paid a price for that, and eventually everyone ended up in the Union.

The same thing goes on in union work environments.
