When I was younger I worked construction, and someone got killed on almost every big job I worked on. I don't recall any sniveling left wingers crying over dead construction workers. At this same time the "comparable worth" theory was making the rounds in academia. According to this theory, a secretary who has no training other than how to type and sits in a nice clean heated office all day is entitled to make same money as a construction worker who has to work outside in 10 degree whether life thousands of pounds in a day and risk his life and limb.
Liberal concern about working people is a fraud. They don't give a damn about working people unless doing so advances their other agenda issues.
I spent a summer at Saginaw Steering Gear before I went in the service and before there was an EPA or OSHA. The union steward watched that line like a hawk and when shit went sideways he had the power to order it shut down...it was in the contract with GM. These government eggheads think they're in the vanguard of protecting workers but it's just a job to them but not to the union. The UAW earned their dues in those days.
