UNION YES
Unions are the sum of it's ACTIVE members. "UNION" is not a 4 letter word. There is a place for it, even today. Not only to protect the workers rights but also to provide a trained, competent labor pool for industry to draw from. My union not only protects me in the workplace but also gives me a voice, if I'm an active participating member. It also offers me up to date training free or at a minimal cost. Unfortunatley, today, most people don't have time to "Get Involved" It has been my experience that the people that complain the most are the ones that do the least.
So GET INVOLVED! Don't be a spectator!
