After the Depression until the
1970s no politician at the State
or national level could be
elected without courting Labor
or viewed not as antagonistic.
|
The labor movement of unions
held sway. It ensured workers
rights and compensation.
The majority of the middle
class was blue collar. They
voted Democrat.
|
Republicans destroyed or
marginalize them and unions
killed themselves not embracing
the new knowledge workers.
As unions went, so went the
middle class.
