But the solution is...Yes, unions are under attack. But the solution is not to give up and accept defeat. The solution is real clear, "Don't mourn, organize." It is your right to join an organize a union. It is you right under the National Labor Relations Act to not only join or form a union, but if you and only one other fellow employee, collectively approach your boss or employer to complain about a problem or working condition, your job is protected under this law upheld under the US Constitution. If employers and corporations were so benevolent to their employees, and not just seen as costs to be cut or expendable, there would be no need for labor unions. What ever wages and benefits that have been gained in the workplace can be taken away by legislation. Unions have had to lobby to protect the gains that they have made at the bargaining table. Workers who don't have the wages and benefits from collective bargain agreements at other workplaces, have benefited because employers have had to offer them competitive wages and benefits to keep and attract employees. Unions still have a vital role to play. Giving up is not the solution, organizing and fighting back is the solution.Paul_Rodenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591041985553152582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-33985973135083649702014-03-10T03:28:06.018-05:002014-03-10T03:28:06.018-05:00Thank you for sharing valuable information.

I think it would be prudent for progressives to point out that, when "conservative" candidates say they are fighting "union thugs", that the other candidate point out that there are no more union thugs, there are no more powerful unions, and that what is left is merely a remnant of a time when employees could organized and lobby for their interests. I think point out that the deconstruction of organized labor has also coincided with the downfall of middle-class jobs, the decrease in employee compensation, and the loss of a robust economy. I believe the first step is admitting that organized labor has been defeated. Only then can an argument be made that, if folks think it is bad now, it isn't because of unions (because they've already been beaten), it is because they've all gone away.
