Sadly the unions here in fusa have mostly abandoned their members . I come from a long line of Irish hard working union loving folks and it is sad to see what has become of the unions in America . Grandpa used to tell how he worked 12 hour shifts with an hour in the middle to walk home and get one of Grandmas lunchs . Hot , good , and anointed ! Grandpa made 11 cents per hour . Until the big strike . Steelworkers . After the strike it went up to 27 cents an hour . Big money ! Back in the day the unions were the best thing to happen to America since the industrial era started . There never should have been a public sector union . That was the working mans invention . Private sector only .
