The fight between environmentalists and workers is more often a hoax designed to enrich corporate power

See here and here.  Erik Loomis is an excellent labor historian.

I have read similar arguments over previous decades from Ralph Nader, RFK, Jr. (before he glommed on to anti-vaccine positions), and others.  And, most recently from Bernie Sanders, with Sanders' pro-labor Green New Deal platform.

To no avail.  

Most Americans remain entrenched in thinking environmental policies only destroy workers' jobs.

Sad. 

And what is really frustrating is Sara Nelson, flight attendants' union leader, truly understands this.  If only other current labor leaders were half as great as Nelson.
