For those yelling about Unions being better than what this guy did:
Unions were always the compromise. We’ve watched as corporations fight tooth and nail against unions, even closing locations and laying people off to quash them. Our union protections in the US are pathetically weak, especially with the current regime.
Workers used to get beaten and threatened when they tried to advocate for better conditions. Eventually workers would start burning down their workplaces like this guy. In extreme cases they would kill the factory owner or foreman. If the conditions are unbearable and voices aren’t being heard, people will get desperate and do unthinkable things.
For their sake, let’s hope the business and corporate types remember this before the bread or circuses run out.

Yeah unions are a better deal for everyone. I hope the business owners come around to that as workers acting on discontent increases
They do, and they will try and do just enough to not get killed.
