if they wanted to reap its benefits. The NLRA didn't just put a ceiling over boss power - it also put a ceiling over worker militancy. Von Clausewitz says that "war is politics by other means," which implies that politics are *war* by other means. The alternative to politics isn't capitulation, it's *war*.
Trump has torn up the rules to the labor game, but that doesn't mean the game ends. That just means *there are no rules*.
