HAPPY LABOR DAY!!!
To anyone who would erroneously state that unions are unnecessary or archaic, let me remind you of the many things that you benefit from, because union members have fought for and still do fight for them. Whether you are in a union or not, most of you are fortunate enough to take advantage of the following:
Eight-Hour Day
Five-Day Workweek
Health Insurance
Good Pensions
Paid Sick Leave
Fair Treatment for Women, People of Color, and Workers with Disabilities
Higher Wages
Overtime Pay
Job Safety
Paid Holidays
Job Security
Severance Pay
Paid Vacations
Family and Medical Leave
States with right to work laws, proclaim that they protect a person's rights from being abused by the big, bad, evil unions. However, in reality they keep wages and benefits as low as legally possible, which is their sole intent anyway. So, instead of feasting upon your sour grapes and decrying unions, perhaps you should appreciate all that unions have done and still do for this country.
