Rachel Maddow Program has featured a forum for slaughterhouse unions seeking worker PPE equipment.

Big business in the US isn't against socialism. (Europe has a lot of socialist countries.)  Big business in the US doesn't want the union movement to succeed ever again!  Not on these shores.  Note that immigrant labor can keep wages down in this country and in Japan, etc.

But when meat is considered an essential product, suddenly, the workers in slaughterhouses are people to be listened to; and they don't want to work in hazardous conditions to their health.  Perhaps, now is the time for unions to come back again into the limelight--in the USA.

Compare the government unions to those in industry.
