Very bold claim. In the history of the world like you say, unions shaped our world in a good way. Certainly not all unions, but it literally saved workers life from corporate abuse. Check the Asbestos Corporation in 1950s.

Just to add more details on TNs if anyone read this, the visa is locked to the sponsoring company but it's possible to hold multiple TNs at the same time. Took me a while to figure that out. It can raise an eyebrow when crossing the border as it isn't regular to have more than one visa.

Any idea where they get their coffee beans? While working in that industry for traders in UK it was common to lend money to African farmers for them to buy crops and tools (from the same firm) and then agree on a market price per pound produced. The trading firm would then pay the farmer months or years after. It really opened me on the work culture and conditions over there. By conditions I don't mean work hours or life balance, but price/cost and work/reward conditions imposed by the billion dollar firms. Side note, they often used umbrella non-profit organization that are "active" in the community to conduct business. I could go on and on on this topic.
