What's sad is that the GOP used to be the party of Lincoln, the party that valued labor. Yet, in the past 2-3 decades the GOP has tried to exterminate unions from the face of the earth. In part because unions too often get involved in politics when they shouldn't but mostly because their corporate donors such as the Koch brothers demand that of them.
When will the erosion stop?
