Wasn't that a time when the middle class was thriving not dying? Much of the credit for the health of the middle class was because of unions.
So you're saying that it's okay that the employees were intentionally less productive as long as the company made money and the stockholders gained? Jeez, you have clearly never owned a business. If any of my employees intentionally slacked off, they'd be gone.
