Why Unions Matter: The Numbers | Mother Jones

Why Unions Matter: The Numbers | Mother Jones

At last. Here's the research that shows the effect of union busting on the middle class. It's no surprise to find that without a political force that speaks for everyman, their plight becomes bleak. It's pretty clear, Union busting equals a lower lifestyle, a decrease in wealth, a sicker, hungrier, and poorer middle class. I repeat.... Union busting equals poverty, harder work for lower pay, fewer health benefits, and the most important factor in the decline of a civilization, a huge gap in wealth between the rich and the rest.

We hear a lot about the legacy of debt we will be leaving our granchildren. We hear nothing about the legacy of poverty that will great them in old age. They will have heard stories about great grandad being on something called medicare and about grampa and grandma who lived in town on a small but comfortable pension and entertained them through their childhood. Those days are gone... The future will be much different for the young folk of today.

Thanks Republicans.....

More work to do.
