Hell, labor and business is already a hostile relationship even without a union, which is why unions exist. Any boss that doesn't act as if it's class war is a chump who won't be able to get funding from traditional institutions (banks, shareholders, etc).

Liberal fascists who think they're on the left even though they only really care about the benefits for white people.

Your employer wants to pay you as little as possible and work you as much as possible. You want to get paid as much as possible and work as little as possible. That's the struggle.
