Interesting article. People too easily forget what American unions have done for this country.
"At the moment, labor is a convenient fall guy.
That's odd, considering that every worker who enjoys an eight-hour day, a safe workplace, benefits and whose children don't toil 12-hour days - every one of us can thank organized labor for these good things taken for granted. Those victories were dearly purchased in the 1930s. Today, average Americans are likely to complain about stagnant wages and declining benefits while also bemoaning those nasty airline unions."

Many Americans, 'us people' (go ahead and flame me someone!) too easily forget what Americans have done for this country. And that is whether the forgotten are CEO's, blue collar, white collar, immigrant, general, foot soldier, fly-boy, loader, et al.
I get sick of all the class baiting that goes on sometimes.
It happens on the FR occasionally, but you wont see it come out of the mouths of our administration.
