From the mind of critic: If we could all attest to the benefits that workers and unions have fought for over the years, how come we let our voices be silenced, by letting unions fall apart and get demonized? Was fighting for workers rights like the moon landing, where we made this great accomplishement a few times, figured it was good enough, and so moved on to allegedly bigger and better things? Was our will weaker than the business leaders who just had to wait out the battle, because they knew sooner than later we’d have to pay bills? Was our will actually stronger, but because after a few victories we became complacent and apathetic, the union busters were able to chip away, until our victories were barely recognizable? Without unions and the hard fought, bloody and violent battles our parents and grandparents took part in, we wouldn’t have weekends off, paid sick days, maternity leave, berevement leave, overtime and holiday pay, child labor laws, and a plethora of product and workplace safety regulations. If we don’t care about those things, that is our right as Americans, and we don’t have to support unions. However, if we care one iota about being treated like a human being in the workplace, we must keep our voice strong, by sustaining our fight as long as it takes, for all of us to get what we deserve. Cause if we think that businesses will give us the benefits we deserve out of the goodness of their hearts, there’s some ocean front property in Arizona we’d be interested in. If unions are made up of our voices, and unions are painted as evil, are we going to let ourselves be labeled as evil, or are we going to do something about it?” 🙂
