Don Klinestiver

We need Unions more now than when John L saved us back when.

Stephen Hernandez

Unions are the rights of workers to collectively negotiate better pay, safer working conditions, benefits, better hours, so we can raise a family and spend time with them. Now tell me: WHATS UN AMERICAN ABOUT THAT!?! Before Unions people were dying in mines, factories and had to work 16 hours or more a day with out over time pay. That's why companies want Unions gone so they can have sweat shops back!!!

And to a union critic:

Jim Folliett

I am a teamster, 20 long years, full bennies, great retirement and a good wage. My union dues are only $61 a month and I take home almost $4, 000 a month, so go put your head back up your ass!!!
