Great? The place was a dumpster fire. They didn’t “rise” to first, everyone just crumbled around them in the post 9/11 world (where CAL already lay). He straight up raped his labor and and convinced them they were saving the world at the same time. Most understood that but the union leaders.... er, guys in charge were all feather bedding their own careers on the backs of their peers.
