One of the biggest scams pulled on the American people has been the idea that labor unions are of the devil. They use corrupt unions in NYC as the only example of all unions and how bad they are. Instead of looking at why unions are needed in the first place.

Ronald Reagan put the nail in the coffin of American Unionism while wrecking public education.

We are living the consequences of his actions.

I am all in favor of individual initiative and personal responsibility, but they have managed to convince people that individuals and families with limited resources and incomes should be expected to negotiate one-on-one with multi-billion-dollar international corporations for terms of employment, insurance coverage and financial services, because anything else would be Socialism.
