Power Concedes Nothing Without a Demand by Chris Hedges

I wanted to share this interesting article by Chris Hedges via COMMON DREAMS.ORG.
Plus I found a photo of an 1883 painting (artist unknown) from The Granger Collection depicting the unequal nature of a contest between capitalistic monopolies and labor.
This is why unions are so important to all of us.


Chris Hedges writes a regular column for Truthdig.com. Hedges graduated from Harvard Divinity School and was for nearly two decades a foreign correspondent for The New York Times. He is the author of many books, including: War Is A Force That Gives Us Meaning, What Every Person Should Know About War, and American Fascists: The Christian Right and the War on America. His most recent book is Empire of Illusion: The End of Literacy and the Triumph of Spectacle.
