Small note on this: Companies, especially large companies, spend an exorbant amount of money on lobbying lawmakers. That lobbying money works hard to limit workers' (and consumers', and competitions') rights.

And ultimately, it's not the government alone which got us breaks, overtime pay, and safety conditions - it was the unions using their dues to push the government for those things.

I almost mentioned regulations but didn't for this reason. It would be nice if the government actually put individuals above corporations; but at least here in the USA the situation has been clear for decades... or forever?
