Are we overlooking the crime associated with corporate management, the featherbedding, and how non-union company employees abjectly failed to thrive in the -- what's a "post-post-WWII era" anyway?

How many murders can you cite ordered by the management or even committed by the rank and file of Fortune 20 or so companies (equivalent to the United Mine Workers or Teamsters I mention in two incidents in another reply in this sub-thread)? Any comments from Jimmy Hoffa?

Post-WWII is a strong period for unionized employees and companies, with much of the competition suppressed by war time damage, and the playing field less tilted toward unions by the Taft-Hartley Labor Act of 1947. Post-post is after that, when many if not most unionized US industries declined, e.g. steel and auto.
