Unions in America have been around since the late 1700's.

Look in any place of business, they have to post what your rights are, But why are those documents printed in the smallest type and put in a place were employees really can't read them.

Yes the unions have done things wrong, but when push comes to shove I would rather be a part of a bigger force than to be hung out there on your own. Big business in america will stop at nothing to make sure that your rights as an American Citizen are slowly washed away. They will also make sure that they will step on the rights of people in other countries. There are companies out there that are still charging a premium price for products that are now made in a different country, Danner Boots, Levi jeans ect ect. Are these same companies paying these new workers a fair wage? hell no!!!! But they are still charging a premium price for these inferior goods.

The Unions were Established at the turn of the century in the early 1900's. Riots broke out, people died fighting for alot of the rights we have today. The 5 day work week, overtime pay, Holiday pay, The labor laws limiting the hours you can work children.

If you don't know what your rights are it is because the companies out there don't want you to know. Look in any place of business, they have to post what your rights are, But why are those documents printed in the smallest type and put in a place were employees really can't read them.

Why is it that lead paint was banned in this country but now we are importing toys from china with lead based paint on them?

Our goverment is not trying to protect the working class they are to busy making deals to make the rich richer!!!!

In the meantime everyone should haul some more #### that was made in another country.

No country has ever taxed them selfs into prosperity
What would happen if all jobs were union and a fair rate of 50,000 a yr salary? yeah that would work.
The gov does not create jobs period. The rich create jobs. this constant attack on the rich is foolish and used by the Democrats to blame someone to get Votes as they will tell you that you need them.
America is the greatest country in the world and there is a reason for that and it's not union. The Union gone too far is communism, just look at our schools with the union there it's a disaster.
Yes I am a union member local 79 and they use us like fools
There is a place for the union but not everywhere or everything they want

The government create jobs by decreasing spending and lowering taxes. Unions can create jobs too. Take UPS for instance, the teamsters created 10000 fulltime jobs in the last contract.
