From Dave Johnson's Americans are Waking Up to the Value of Unions:
...Unions are vital to a middle class society. Corporations and the wealthy behind the corporate mask have so much power. The only forces that can counter that power and fight for the rest of us are the unions and democratic government. The Reagan Revolution began the elimination of both, bringing instead plutocracy -- government of, by and for the wealthy. The resulting weakness in the power of working people to bargain for a fair share has left us with an economy that didn’t work when it was "recovering" under Bush, and now can’t get out of the recession. To lift the economy we have to lift wages.
Families are not sharing in the rewards, but they are waking up and connecting the dots. America is waking up to the value of unions.
