No stinkin’ socialism for us

An article from the Los Angeles Times tells about labor troubles at an Ikea factory in Virginia, and about how we’re Sweden’s Mexico:

Bill Street, who has tried to organize the Danville workers for the machinists union, said Ikea was taking advantage of the weaker protections afforded to U.S. workers.

“It’s ironic that Ikea looks on the U.S. and Danville the way that most people in the U.S. look at Mexico,” Street said.

The article mentions a book I’d like to read: “Cheap: The High Cost of Discount Culture.”
