An Open Letter to Unions (re-share if you agree).<\/p>\n
Years ago the powers that be decided that the time was right to start union busting. Many states passed \u201cRight to Work\u201d laws that degraded the working class in America.<\/p>\n
An unforeseen result that many who should have supported the unions is that hand in hand with the busting of unions came the disappearance of the middle class and the growing gap between the rich and the poor.<\/p>\n
I say now is the time to create a Union of Unemployed Workers. This should be a union financed non-dues paying union. With such a union you could amass a great people power to promote zero unemployment at a living wage. This would not only help the unemployed but would help the underemployed and create a larger base of dues paying union members.<\/p>\n
