Workers Rights and the American Dream
Any one who thinks that Unions are a bad idea are probably those in white collar corporate jobs. My Dad worked 30 years for GM under the UAW leadership. Without the UAW my parents would not have been able to raise three kids with adequate income, medical coverage or the ability to enjoy their retirement years. Some people say Unions are a thing of the past, but without adequate representation there is no liberty; hence the concept of democracy. Unions are another form of representation outside the confines of government, but in the realm of careers and livelihoods. Unions are what make America strong, not weak.
