The Villa-fication of Unions

I just watched a documentary about the closing of a GM truck plant in Ohio. They showed excerpts of the news media blasting the union and its workers. Unions, like the word taxes, have become a dirty word. Fat Cats hate unions because they take money away from them. They might have to wait a little longer to buy that golden toilet seat. The media, in the pocket of the Fat Cats, repeats the same old lies; Unions cost us jobs, we can't compete, it's the unions fault we have to employ Chinese workers.

I was lucky enough to be a member of one for 32 years and they give everyman a chance to provide a good life for workers and their families. Not everyone can be a computer whiz. Unions prevent us from becoming a third world country.
