Well, when retreating, it does make sense to deny your opponent any possible resources ... like buildings and such.

And if you aren't planning on coming back (and by then, the Germans knew they weren't going to be able to), it makes even more sense.

Because there weren't any mine-proof bulldozers. The mines and booby-traps and such had to be taken care of first.

What "acquisition fewer"? More like burnt-earth tactics, and revenge too. Besides, they weren't going to be able to carry any of it home anyway, they were dumping things like ration tins by the truckload and all.

No, I don't mean that they won't try. I mean that it isn't given that they'll be successful. After all, there are other takers for that power too...

Huh? Doesn't that mean that the other side is already effectively unionized?

I don't see how that'd be an unavoidable result.

Er ... yeah, right, last time they managed to gain that much control, we had a civil war which they lost. That what you mean?

There's also the part about the unions being politically significant, which cuts both ways - having the outright socialists in government put the unions back in line is sort of ... fitting.

Obivously, the one thing that the employer-side unions are forbidden from doing is price-fixing on end products. Besides there's a limit when foreign compebreastors would drive them all out of the market.

This leaves the employer side trying to get more done for the same time and pay, most of the time.

WEll, yes. That may actually be among the smaller of the differences.
