A war over workers' rights, individual versus collective

There is a war afoot, being fought on several fronts, over workers’ rights.

Labor unions, liberal activists and democrats are rallying in that fight, and they claim to be rallying on workers’ behalf. But they are rallying against the individual workers, trying to limit their newly obtained freedoms and to constrain what individuals can do. In many cases, they are trying to prevent workers from even learning about the rights that new laws and court decisions have afforded them.
