see full article...As James Baldwin once said to Angela Davis..."If they
come for you in the morning, they will be there for me in the
afternoon." The saying occured in an earlier context, when the German
National Social Democratic Party took over the government in fascist
Germany, and removed the communists, the politicals, the non
conformists, and the jews and put them in concentration camps when they
broke the power of the unions and the other organisations of the
people. Trades unionism appears to be weakening all over the world
these days, particularly in the mainstream nation states...A dying form
of workers representation...what is it being replaced with...who defends
the rights of the peoples of the world now...one wonders...the United
Nations Human Rights Organisation, WHO and Qanon...😉

Production of the company’s parkas was once fully unionized, but labor
organizers say the owners have taken a harder line in recent years.
Canada Goose, the luxury jacket maker, has cultivated an image that is
not only chic but also socially conscious. It has forged alliances with
environmental advocates and talked of its commitment to high labor
standards.
These efforts have paid off as the company outgrew its roots as a family
enterprise and built a worldwide following for its parkas, which can
cost over $1,000 and have been worn by celebrities like Daniel Craig and
Kate Upton. “We believe that the brand image we have developed has
significantly contributed to the success of our business,” the company
wrote in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing in March.
But production employees of Canada Goose, who were all unionized as of
2010, have complained that the company has taken an increasingly hard
line toward labor that is at odds with its stated values.
