[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 961426, member: 2189"] With virtual technology what it is now, begging the employer for worksite access among other things is totally unnecessary IMO. I'll just leave it at that. That said, the corp. model of contract unionism is dying on the vine but at the same time a growing knowledge of pre-Wagner labor movement thanks to the virtual world is spreading and mostly thanks to the spreading of voluntaryist, mutualist and radical libertarianism and it's ideas among other things. As more discuss the idea of a [URL="http://www.praxeology.net/libclass-theory-part-1.pdf"][COLOR=#ff0000]libertarian class analysis[/COLOR][/URL] as well as much of Kevin Carson's work, at some point many learn about the early American labor movement in the likes of Big Bill Hayward, The Knights of Labor and the IWW. From the enclosure movement to Wagner to all forms of state regulation of labor, corp. capitalism has used the State at every turn to quash the free market of labor and to erect market barriers at all levels to force the maximum number of the workforce into wage employment rather than encourage a freer market composed of a vast array of individual entrepreneurs and craftsman. Even removing the vast array of the cost of taxation at all levels on market labor would likely result in a vast reduction of costs of consumer goods so that the same standard of living is maintained at half the annual labor hours worked. And when one understands that most tax dollars from labor ends up as welfare re-distribution into corp. capitalist pockets, no wonder there's a relationship to upward profit lines over time with upward debt and tax burdens mostly on American labor taxpayers. And for the record I don't separate blue collar and white collar labor so let's be clear on that point. The taxation and market control issue IMO also speaks to the heart of the post I made of the interview with Professor Pack of the Wharton School on centralization of State Industrial Policy. And a lot of the interview below with Kevin Carson by Liberty Minded speaks also to the de-clawed condition of modern labor verses the more vigorous pre-Wagner labor movement.
