I am new to this forum, so if I mess up you know why. I disagree with this poster on thier feeling that Unions have crippled American Business for 40 years. Unions have helped the American worked for much longer than 40 years by providing above average wages, benefits and working conditions. The unions of America have provided this country with a powerful middle class, something that has been severely wounded in America. We need the unions as without them American business will ride slipshod over the American worker. If unions were in thier rightful power mode, there would be no American business leaving for cheaper labor sources. Unions are American, strongly American and are severely needed in the business cycles of today. Let’s hear it for the unionized workforce. Ya Hoo!
