Not on company time.

Editor,

American workers used to be citizens before the ruling class declared war on them in the Reagan years. Workers were vigorous politically and politically consequential for half a century before WWII, and they were fat, dumb, and happy from 1945 to 1979. Now they park their citizenship with their cars. They sign their rights away when they hire on, and the U.S. Constitution does not apply in the hallowed halls of the multinationals -- which is fitting, because multinationals do not care about the United States, and they do not care about Americans. The world is their oyster. For workers around the world it is every man for himself.
