I'm going to honor my parents Marion & Clement, who worked in auto plants or in supportive shops. Organized Labor has been a rising tide that has raised all boats in the labor market. Now 61% of Americans have either forgotten that or never knew this! Large companies and Corporations don't offer its employees decent wages, health benefits, sick time/vacation time out of the kindness of their heart! They do it because they have to in order to keep their workers from bringing in a union who will get it for them. This is the tide that has raised your boat---now the tide is being stemmed. When the tide (organized labor) goes out---it will take your benefits with it.
