He was spot on!

Seems to be a direct correlation between the decline in union workers and the huge increase in executive compensation.

Wonder how it will feel to lie at your next union carrier when asked how you voted......
I think this is one of the more compelling reasons to vote for a union. The decline of the middle class - let's face it, we are all middle class - is a serious erosion of what I believe to be great in this country. I think my vote for a union will be seriously swayed becaus we need to have an equalization of labor in this country. The corporatization of America is seriously eroding many of the great aspects of America.
