| Guess What!? Woke up today and unions still suck! As for Gurps and perpetual nazi comparisons, get over it (or maybe not, if it bugs you). There are more important obtuse things to talk about. |

Yet you seem to be the one infatuated with him?Pretty easy to spot people who could'nt get into a Union they are the ones that say "unions suck".Also they are the most clueless ,it's why they have to make up stories of bad Unions,most are just lazy employees. Unions matter today more than ever. If we want to rebuild the American middle class, we need strong unions. It’s no coincidence that the decline of the middle class began with the decline in union membership. From one-third to one-fifth of the growth in inequality can be explained by the decline of unions, according to a 2011 study in the American Sociological Review by Bruce Western of Harvard University and Jake Rosenfeld of the University of Washington. We see the result of this decline every day. More Americans are working in low-wage jobs and are without health care and the means to save for retirement. Union jobs can still offer workers good salaries, pensions and health care benefits that give families the economic security to send kids to college or trade schools, to invest in their communities and to have a secure retirement. This is not some socialist ideal. It is the American dream — and unions have helped ensure that more Americans have a chance to live it. Unions also matter if we want to retool and retrain our workforce for the global economy. Employers regularly talk about not being able to find skilled workers. New union training programs are a critical component of the answer to this problem. At their own expense, unions and union contractors provide training and apprenticeship programs that teach the latest construction and building techniques with a focus on safety. This training allows U.S. workers compete with anyone in the world. These union training programs should be encouraged, and the workers who graduate should be put back to work rebuilding the nation’s infrastructure — and our economy. More importantly, unions matter because who else will speak on behalf of workers? The U.S. Chamber of Commerce speaks for the interests of business, and AARP speaks for the interests of the elderly. But without unions, who would speak for workers? If workers are to have a share in our future prosperity, they need unions to advance their issues. Otherwise, the voices of corporations, the rich and the well-connected will drown out the voices of average American workers. Read more: Opinion: Why unions matter more than ever - Edward M.
