It was unions who brought on the 8-hr work day, overtime pay, and reasonable safety regulations on the job. And it was the unions who made American wages what they once were -- livable.

She is up by six points nationwide, and the news cycle through Monday will be focused on police shooting black people......she got real lucky that during her debate prep, Trump coverage has disappeared, and she gets to slide closer to the election with NO mistakes. When you are up in the fourth quarter with two minutes to go.....you take a knee. duh.

They outlived their purpose and quit serving the worker and quickly began serving only themselves. In the process, they destroy the very industry they purport to serve.
You know this well, but here is something from the lips of a retired union executive.
National Education Association General Counsel Bob Chanin stated in July 2009.
Chanin: "It is not because we care about children. And it is not because we have a vision of a great public school for every child. NEA and its affiliates are effective advocates because we have power. And we have power because there are more than 3.2 million people who are willing to pay us hundreds of millions of dollars in dues...."
Says it all, does it not?

The only argument I know of in support of such laws is the right leaning mind-set that is just against anything faintly resembling government involvement and in this case government and union to their way of thinking are joined at the hip.
Ironically, to my way of thinking one of governments responsibilities to the country's citizens is to protect us from the abuses of unfettered business entities like corporations of all sorts. Without government regulations and union representation most of us would be living as serfs and sharecroppers and buying goods at the company store.
How is it that the Tea Part types think the gov-ment is so horrible? Who stands up for the rights of ordinary people, people who don't have a pile of money, education or knowhow to fight in court against unsafe working conditions, unfair wages, clean water and air, etc. We don't need runaway capitalism to "solve our problems". That would be a disaster.

Yes, the Reagan quote really caught on and started a lot of this gov-ment is bad line of thinking. Without government intervention and oversight we would go back to air that we can see and rivers that catch fire among other impressive things.

See Detroit and the former great Steel making cities. Where are those jobs?
