This isn't obvious at all. More probably, the aphorism "United we stand, divided we fall" applies. When workers and owners pull together, both win more than either could get from fighting. Look at Japan, for example. That's how they win, not by low wages or poor living conditions for the workers. Treating owners and workers as if they were natural adversaries is how "Great" Britain has fallen so sadly, and how North America may follow into the limbo of history. -- Martin Taylor {allegra,linus,ihnp4,uw-beaver,floyd,ubc-vision}!utzoo!dciem!mmt
