Feb 2014

From the start of Repuke talking.
Unions improved my family and my life.
Made a decent living and had benefits.
The United Association of Plumbers and Fittters works together with employers to form a partnership.
Both sides are better for negotiating.
People like Corker just want to take things from workers and percieved Democrats.
The lies will be his undoing if VW goes union.
