Honestly, though, unions missed the mark in this case, they vastly overestimated how high the input would have to be to get to get a "true" from public boolean is_more_ethical_than_corporation(int union_ethics).
EDIT: hga - I can't reply, which is probably a good thing. I got a little overly sarcastic there. It doesn't help discussion, my apologies.
Oh, yeah, no long afterwords, this local murder of a John Galt (yep, for real) happened: http://ozarks-history.blogspot.com/2014/06/i-44-truck-explos...
Post-WWII is a strong period for unionized employees and companies, with much of the competition suppressed by war time damage, and the playing field less tilted toward unions by the Taft-Hartley Labor Act of 1947. Post-post is after that, when many if not most unionized US industries declined, e.g. steel and auto.
