Attacks on Unions
Recently there has been a concerted attack on
unions and their leaders by a business backed group.
In case you might have missed it their is a new
group out in the world that is spending millions in shareholders money to attack
and discredit unions. They have paid actors (probably not union) saying
sarcastically what they love about their union, one is dues. Of course they
couldn't get real union members to go on TV, not because some members don't have
some problems but because most members also know the real worth of unions. They
know that unions provide them protection from arbitrary discipline, the right to
have a say at the workplace without fear of losing your job and many unions
provide ways to advance yourself if you so
desire.
But the real reason they are
attacking unions is that they understand that we are the last organized group
that demands that government and corporations act with a sense of fairness and
equality. They know that we are the last barricade to their unfettered greed.
That's why they are attacking unions.
