Is this a good description of how labor and capital battled one another before the 1970's? 02:14 Is this a good description of how labor and capital battled one another before the 1970's?
From Hoffa (1992).
Students today have a hard time understanding how violent the battles between labor and capital were in the past. So whenever I find a good scene from popular movies I find it a useful metaphor for the "labor question", especially during the Great Depression. This scene from Hoffa serves that purpose well, even if the date the scene is supposed to take place is unclear (it looks round the time of WWII to me). But am I right? Or did this scene exaggerate? Or, was it just as violent but happened in a different way, in a different context? Contributed by F. Bailey Norwood

A good parody of labor relations? 03:25 A good parody of labor relations?
From It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (Episode: The Aluminum Monster vs. Fatty Magoo) (2007.).
This is a collection of clips from a It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia episode, where they parody labor relations. I think the best part is it's ability to capture management's view of labor, which really was acrimonious, in my opinion. There is lots more too. A good discussion about the parts that are realistic and not realistic would be helpful, to me at least. Contributed by F. Bailey Norwood

Union Sundown - Bob Dylan 05:43 Union Sundown - Bob Dylan
From Union Sundown (1983).
Trade is all about taking advantage of what you do better than someone else. These comparative advantages lead to a reallocation of production resources. Bob Dylan seems to find the outsourcing of jobs to other countries to be a bad thing, and for union members it is. However, this dismisses the reality that low cost labor is the comparative advantage of some places. Contributed by Brian ORoark
