"Although
it is true that only about 20 percent of
American workers are in unions, that 20
percent sets the standards across the board
in salaries, benefits and working
conditions. If you are making a decent
salary in a non-union company, you owe that
to the unions. One thing that
corporations do not do is give out money out
of the goodness of their hearts."-MOLLY
