What unions gave us..... Don't forget the role played in forming the most mobile, technically advanced society this earth has ever seen.

Actually, Henry Ford gave us the five day work week long before the UAW existed.
Health plans first came about during the building of the Grand Coulee Dam and were later expanded during the Wage Controls enacted by FDR during WWII.
