Great asset! We need to band together like NEVER before. Our very way of life is at stake here with the attacks we are seeing on Unions. As we all know it has nothing to do with waste or people being over paid and everything to do with big business and government trying to strip the last vestige of power, self worth and having a say in the workplace from the American people!
