1. As go the unions, so goes the middle class. nm

[SunSeeker]

2. There is no level playing field without unions.

A single employee, absent some extremely unique and valuable skill, like a rock star or sports star, simply has no power to bargain. It is insane to think otherwise. And dishonest.

[Bozita]

3. Unions + GI Bill = America's middle class

[AnotherMcIntosh]

4. Won't the unions suffer more when the next "free-trade" agreement is signed?

There is one in the works.

[Egalitarian Thug]

6. Of course. After November we have a little over a year to find and elect candidates that

will work for us because they are us.

If the candidate has a last name you see on parks, buildings, political office holders, etc., they are not running to help you, vote for somebody else.

If the new candidate on the scene is young, has a slick advertising campaign, is endorsed by the police, fire department, or especially a chamber of commerce, has the $$ to put up giant billboards, or has a last name you recognize, vote for somebody else.

7. YES!!!

There is no way to be FOR "Free Trade",
and be Pro-LABOR at the same time.
The two positions are mutually exclusive.


You will know them by their WORKS,
not by their excuses.

5. K&R. People forget so much. Take union gains like 8-hour days, sick leave and vacation time

for granted.

Friend said-- we're not unionized but we get good benefits.

Without realizing we get them now because unions fought for them decades earlier and made them standard benefits.

[Bill USA]
