Organize

Often an project fraught with problems and danger, as many employers do not appreciate having to deal with their employees on an equal basis. In the past, and even more recently, they have employed goon squads, and other, more subtle means to intimidate their workers.

Only workers' struggle has enlisted the government to level the playing field; since the beginning of time, the government has favoured property, and those with it, over those who have not, and must work.
