>the American government was responsible for much of the social equality
The people that fought for social equality are the ones who are responsible for making it politically desirable. After their fight came the post-war economic boom which made US labor an economically valuable resource worth treating well. Globalization and the rise of automation now brings us back to considering US labor a surplus to be had cheap. Government policy will likely claw back expenses that contribute to social equality accordingly until unrest grows.

Absolutely, but I'm pretty sure when writing for a US audience it's foolish to so much as hint that good working conditions may in any way relate to the work of union organisation.
