Even though this video is three years old somethings don't change, unions are still good for this country. When working people that vote against their own best interest realize that they are being used by the republicans and the koch brothers things will change for the better.

Union membership especially in skilled trade are up. I don't think public employee union membership is 7%(little high) Unions stance against the Right-to-work law is an ongoing effort and in now being funded in part by voluntary contributions.

I still remember it, at one of their luncheons. He was great - said black Americans had such a profound stake in making sure government works, given their history. And in voting - and we saw that in 2012, when states like Florida threw up so many roadblocks, yet they waited in line for up to six hours. We're both very much older now, but he's a cool dude. Woodward is a Fox News wannabe.

rights of workers for the other side, what happens? Management does what they want which is to take most of the pie and not spend money to protect worker's safety! How hard is that to understand?
