You have good reason to be nervous, because this is an historic moment in American politics, the twilight of the Labor momvement which dawned during the New Deal. This will rightly be seen as the beginning of the end of the Obama disaster and the unraveling of the American Socialist experiment.
Labor unions are almost as old as America itself. Although primitive unions of carpenters and other tradespeople made an appearance in various cities in colonial America, the first national labor unions gained strength in the 1820s. During this time, workers banded together to reduce the working day from a grueling 12 hours to a more manageable 10 hours. In 1866, the Nation Labor Union persuaded Congress to cut the workday down to todays eight hour standard.
I'm praying that this is the beginning of the end of the labor movement and will give more impetus to private enterprise.
