The way I see it is not so much about how the pie is split but rather that the pie is severely shrinking all around. The rich get richer and the middle class is the new proletariat. Where does labor go? Down (& out).
Oh, and to the "why under siege and by whom" question you asked before: technology and globalization. The $45/h + health benefits + pension assembly line job became a $10/h oil changer at JiffyLube. Goodbye workers paradise.
