  • I am a member of Teamsters local 769 south Fl. Unions do not produce miracles however my working conditions and job security is protected by the local. I would encourage anyone to vote yes when a union comes to the job site.

  • good video, Live better- work Union! stand together!

  • @thefreeman8791 #1--your friend is lying. Sorry, no one can get drunk and sleep at work, no where, ever, unless he is the bosses son. #2--the right to work states have more welfare recipients than other states. If there is job growth, its temporary. And its because southern hicks are being exploited, and working for slightly above minimum wage, as well as not receiving any benefits at these jobs.

  • Labor---We built this country.

  • @grrlinduluth Yes, trust your government to do the job for you...not.

  • Great video. I was a member of the NYCDCC, Carpenters. Unions need to educate their members better as to the importance of unionised labor as well as effective organising. Union YES!

  • I have a question. If Unions are so great then why is it that the free to work states enjoy a job growth at a rate of %17.6 while the ones that are not right to work are at %8.9? And I know someone that used to work for GM. A co-worker of his would come into work set his lunch box down and fall asleep. The reason why was that he was constantly getting drunk. This friend of mine did not want to witness any accident so he left. Is that the kind of job security that the Unions talk about?

  • there is labour movement in the US?

  • read online"the failure of the liuna internal reform" to learn what union is really about

  • @KinzCove The 100 year anniversary of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire is this month.

  • Thank you for this video.
