3. Never heard that...thanks. Cesar Chavez...the last image. Mother Jones deserves

her place in this worker's horror of the turn of the Century. Children were dying working for pennies a day.

In 1902 she was called "the most dangerous woman in America" for her success in organizing mine workers and their families against the mine owners. In 1903, to protest the lax enforcement of the child labor laws in the Pennsylvania mines and silk mills, she organized a children's march from Philadelphia to the home of President Theodore Roosevelt in New York.

5. Far too many have forgotten

Far too many blue collar workers have been manipulated into voting for anti-union rethuglicans.

6. Never ceases to amaze me,,,

how somebody wants to work for less money, poorer working conditions. no pension. Unions' fight have produced a byproduct for those non-union workers of having better jobs even though some still curse union members.

7. I worked as an IBEW journeyman electrician for over 30 years.

I was contracted to a couple clients who had closed shops. About a third of those people believed all the conservanazi bu$hit put out by the likes of druggie limpballs. The would draw good wages and complain about the union. LEECHES is what they were and never considered the fact that on an 'open' shop, they would get less.

8. It is sad to see so many people give unions a bad wrap.

Most seem totally ignorant to history. Go fig.
