A simple historical list without any analysis is of little value. Unions in many ways have been a victim of their own success. Many of the things they fought for and won have become law. 40 hour work week, sick leave, vacation, workers comp etc. So many believe they are no longer necessary and are willing to be the "Frog in boiling water." Just sitting there heating up not realizing what's happening. It's no coincidence that as union membership has declined, income inequality has increased. We can sit by and watch the "walmartizing" of our industry and America in general or we can do something about it. Unions are by no means the panacea to cure the middle class issues. But it's obvious the GOP is not on my side on the union issue. So I go with the only other game in town. That's Pragmatism.........which happens to be the 2011 word of the year.

Blind political allegiance is always blind to the facts, you are welcome to peddle your politics somewhere else, I do find some amusement with your blatant projection of your own qualities on others.
Again, it is completely obvious that neither side has done us any favors, but they all love to talk.
I would like to caution you at this time that if you want to continue your political rants and unicorn hunts here you are going to get some time out in the corner. Pragmatism in 2011, it is a two edged sword.
