[edit] Woe betide those who form a labor union!

The British unions did fairly well for themselves with no State assistance, and much State hindrance; there was no minimum wage in the U.K. until 1998. Mjollnir.svgListenerXTalkerX 06:47, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

And American unionizers were murdered by Pinkerton thugs. ħumanUser talk:Human 07:32, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
The U.S. is not the only country in the world. It is not even the only country to have practiced that level of market regulation. Were yellow-dog contracts even known outside the U.S.? Mjollnir.svgListenerXTalkerX 07:43, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
I know it's not (who made the "more than this" userbox? You? No, me.) But in the US union organizers and strikers were murdered by government and corp. supported thugs. Do you deny this for some reason? WTF do you mean by "market regulation"? PS, keep in mind I wrote a version of this article after I killed the redirect, but was ECd and let your version stand (you wouldn't know that). With some minor editing. ħumanUser talk:Human 08:00, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
I do not deny it, but I do not blame the free market for it; I blame government corruption. Unions were persecuted all over the place around that time, free market or no. Mjollnir.svgListenerXTalkerX 04:26, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
Sorry, unions were persecuted by the beneficiaries of the "free market" that never existed, ever, in the world. So be gentle as you fondle your economic idealisms into that dark night, as I will also. ħumanUser talk:Human 06:18, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
Fascist and communist countries, which were not known for having free markets, also persecuted their labor unions — and, might I add, did a much more thorough job of it. Mjollnir.svgListenerXTalkerX 04:54, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Removal of epigraph

What exactly is the objection to the epigraph, that it must be removed or pushed down the page? Mjollnir.svgListenerXTalkerX 03:11, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
