Conservatives don’t want unionized labor - they want 1890’s style manufacturing at best, no unions and rampant exploitation of labor. At worst, no people in the factory of any sort - dark factories end to end. There’s little room in the conservative morality for people not working, or for people who are working.

Can we not call those people "Conservatives". There is very little conservative about them.

You are correct and I sincerely apologize. I have always had immense respect for my conservative peers. This is something else carrying the mantle of conservative, cowing the conservatives to silence.

Part of the decline in union jobs is that loyalty (on both sides) is dead. It's hard to unionize a transient workforce.
