Huh? "My?" If she meant Todd's union brothers and sisters why didn't she that?
I think she's trying to insinuate herself into a position of "solidarity" with the union members. Sounds VERY odd to me.
She is being relatable, compassionate, and getting the point across without being contentious. She has the ability to state her position in a way that shows she sees the other side, agree or not. She is the anti-Pelosi.
Thing is, unions don’t *need* to be something like SEIU or the other parasite organizations you seem to have been saddled with over there. There are other and more modern models for that kind of thing, and the US is something like 80 years out of step - just like the Brits and their insane TUC.
The trick is local unions strong enough to keep the thugs out and working with their company. It is doable, practical and profitable for workers and owners alike :).
Palin was a member of the IBEW union. the international brothers of electrical workers when she was a sportscaster. her husband is a member of the USW union.
