And remember, you wouldn't have fair pay or a five day work week or safe conditions in the workplace without unions. It's all about balance of power. Neither the unions nor the companies should have too much. Similarly, neither the successes nor the failures of industry can be placed upon either one. Industry works best when bosses and workers work together.

I proudly support UNIONS!!

[Laurence Socci]

Union dues = lobbying and political money. Goes right to support Obama and the DNC, who don't give a happy hoot about workers

I was just going to say, these garments are now made in Bangladesh. They have worked in sweatshops there for almost 2 decades, and they have finally had it. Dangerous conditions? Yeah, try being locked in a building, fearing that it will collapse in on you.

And then Bill Clinton and Gore sent those jobs away thanks to NAFTA. Ross Perot warned us with the giant sucking sound of jobs leaving the USA with NAFTA.

Can you translate this into Bangladesh?

The Gahmint Industry owners in New Yahk seemed to have moved many of the jobs to Bangladesh.

Wonder why? Voracious greed or good business?

Anyone who's AGAINST unions is shit. That means you're shit.

more like mid-70s...SNL parodied this with a pot-growers union commercial.

I never see the union label anymore!

[Patrick Foster]

Yea. No...

The cost of living allows for pay there to be low. In fact it's higher in some cases than what people get over here based on the cost of living. There is a ton of competition for the jobs over there..

[Chel Rob]

Oh my gosh. I absolutely loved that!!! Memories like the corners of my mind!!!

People have changed, and management just wants us all to be happy. The CEO's/ fat cats at the top just want to share their wealth with those of us who actually 'do the work'...they will never take advantage of the common man again...ya right
