Unions built this country, read your history books people. When the steel mills in Pennsylvania were going strong in the 1800's workers were working 12-14 hours a day with no overtime. They were getting hurt, maimed and wounded at work with no workers compensation. The employers didn't care there were always more workers to replace them. It was only when they refused to work and wanted 8 hour days, living wages and they stood together in solidarity. That is what makes Unions Strong when workers have had enough and stand together, the same goes in the Union. If the BS gets too thick, everyone stands together and works the way through it.

Non Union employers don't care about their workers, just the ultimate profit they can make off of them. Most don't even offer health care benefits to their workers because they don't want to lose their profit margin. I cannot believe this web site is even around. What a crock of shit they are feeding the people who read this crap. Do the History Report and you will see who made the 8 hour work day and 40 hour work week.

Thank a Union Brother for this otherwise you would be working 80-90 hours a week for a loaf of bread and bologna. Why do you think that companies have moved their manufacturing plants to China or Mexico, the workers will do the work for 1/4 of what the Americans will and guess what? No EPA to keep the environment clean, NO OSHA to keep workers safe, just endless supply of workers. Once they use them up they just get more, it is pathetic. Then they try to tell you Unions are bad, get with it people, Unions are here to help. Collective Barganing is where it starts to get a wage that is livable, healthcare that is affordable and 40 hours a week.
