Unions at the time were a godsend, and necessary. But what modern unions have become, especially in Canada, is terrible. They have gone the totally other way and are just awful. Have you seen what unions charge in union dues? My brother pays something like $600 a month. It’s INSANE. Union leadership is awful.. overly political and encouraging people to strike at every opportunity, when they have fantastic salaries and fill benefits etc. They should all watch videos like this and remember why unions were created and they should feel ashamed of themselves.

I doubt the factory covered the extractions or the costs for them. Unless the overseer pulled out his pliers to yank out those teeth himself. More likely, the workers were forced to do it themselves. That would be one reason why they refused to get their teeth removed - they couldn't afford it. I imagine they had to resort to DIY extractions.

And there are plenty of forces making sure people stay uneducated today so they have a large voting base that never questions and does what they are told. Open borders, dumbing down learning requirements, indoctrination instead of education, and Common Core are just a few of the tactics that keep the populus from becoming rational thinkers unwilling to comply with ridiculous mandates and corrupt political machinations. These are the people who control labor unions today and vote for one color exclusively. Funny how the pendulum swings the other way after a hundred years.

If anyone tells you that unions are too expensive, they're either blatantly lying or just repeating propaganda without ever figuring it out for themselves. Union fees are intentionally designed to be accessible to even the poorest of the working class. I learnt this immediately when a union organizer came to do a regular interview at the mcdonalds that I used to work at. My boss and managers told me that unionizing was a waste of time and that it was too expensive. Out of curiosity I took the interview anyway and found out the fee was between 1- 4 dollars out of my weekly paycheck. The working conditions at my workplace were reasonable but you never know when things will become unreasonable and I knew the importance of unionizing so I immediately joined.

Phossy jaw still occurs today in people on bisphosphonates. The condition is commonly referred to as "bis-phossy jaw". The mechanism is identical to what happened in match factories, when naturally occurring amino-acids turned phosphorus into bisphosphonates. Let it be a warning to anyone who is pushed by his/her doctor and by the pharma industry to swallow this poison.

I tell you if it weren't for the Union a lot of things that used to go on at this agency would still be going on!
