There's a "War on the Workers in the heartland" sings Anne Feeney. "These multi-national bastards don't use tanks and guns it true" though events in Ukraine prove the exception and Labor Historian Dr. Bill Peltz would point out that workers are at both ends of the gun. https://www.youtube.co/watch?v=uP3gyphVo8w
