Great post. We have a Labor Group on Current and this should be the first place we post to. We need to get people to understand that business reporting should always have time for labor, not just the stock market.

Absolutely, educate those that have no idea of what Labor Unions are all about. It's been a slippery slope for decades now with Corporate bashing of Unions. This will be one of the topics I will talk about on this coming sow!

Tears to my eyes. When people can stand together and form a union in there work place.
With so many anti union forces that have blocked so many in trying to form a union in their workplace and so many losing the battle it gives all working men and women a boast when one succeeds.
Our fathers died for justice in the work place and it has slowly been taken away to the point that we have again taken to the streets not only our workplace but also in the political arena.
Labor Unions are our voice in the political arena and our voice will be heard! - 1 year ago

I hope so Kenny, when union membership is up, we all do better. All of us, union member or not, should be grateful for the efforts of our country's unions.
Thanks for the post!
