A quote from an article with David Neeleman, CEO of JetBlue - via kottke.org

I love American history, and I've studied it. I understand we had a big need for unions in this country. You basically had unscrupulous people who were building companies on the backs of their people without giving them health care and without giving them other benefits. They made them take on hazardous jobs and work long hours.

- bold added for emphasis

It's nice to know that all the unscrupulous people who were building companies in America have been rooted out, and that nasty history of exploiting workers has been abolished for ever, or should I say had been abolished for ever
