You've not really answered any of the facts. Again, of all the benefits that supposedly we owe thanks to the Unions for, perhaps we can give a nod to the eight hour work day, and that's about it.

BTW, you have no idea what my experience is.

You stated your agenda in your first post to me:

Please cite any proof of your statement so I can shot it down.

Workers in the United States, and around the world, have demonstrated their willingness to risk their lives to improve their working conditions. To say that all they achieved was an eight hour day is disrespectful and displays an ignorance of history.

You can get an education here:

Regarding your experience, I quoted you on that, will you now disagree with your own statement?
