From what I have seen, the NRLB and the DoL generally have the most solid scrotal metal around. I think they are getting tired of all the corporate double-speak and bullshit as well.

Ain't that a recent thing?

Otherwise, how did it get this bad if they enforced laws the entire time?

Underfunding and under-reporting most likely. I feel like the advancement of communities online that share their experiences has driven a lot of movement that they didn't realize was as needed as it is. Also, companies are becoming increasingly abusive in their policies and activities.

State organs support labor only when labor is organized well enough to promise pain if not appeased.

Give credit to whom it is due, the brave workers and their allies who stand on the line.

I tend to agree, which is why I am heartened by their recent behaviors. It also takes workers who are informed and brave. I actively try to make sure my stepdaughter is at least informed enough to know when to call me.

Staying informed is not an individual activity.

Resilience against misinformation and ignorance derives from mutual education and common trust within an organization.

You can put 12ft.io/ before the URL to remove most paywalls.

Yeah, I've known about 12ft for awhile, but many sites are wising up to that trick and it has stopped working for more and more of them (e.g. financial times or NYT, I don't recall which exactly, was one I recently ran into where it won't work).
