The labor movement won big in the defeat of the trade package Friday. But a lot of the commentators are somewhat mystified.
After all, the labor movement is a smaller fraction of the workforce than it was when NAFTA was approved over labor's opposition in 1993. And the industrial workforce today is a much smaller percentage of the total. How could this have happened?
The one percent is perplexed that Kim K.'s booty is not large enough to eclipse their duplicity on this “trade” deal. Hopefully, this is a sign of things to come.
