This is neither surprising nor unexpected. Union busting railroad companies hired Pinkerton detectives, or bribed political leaders to convince them to send in the militia, when they weren’t hiring their own police forces to crack protestors skulls (or shoot them in the back). This is normal in our country. The rich pay peanuts, and when the poor organize for better conditions, the rich use all those lovely savings to hire enforcers. Union busters in the north, slave patrols in the south.
And thus has America always been a system designed to aid and abet the rich in stealing wealth from everyone else, while providing us just enough to get us to be quiet.

[ edit: if you have accounts with the big banks, get your money out into a credit union. it’s a (relatively) simple action of boycotting which can have an immense impact if enough people take action. plus, it’s better for your pocketbook 9 out of 10 times anyway. ]
