Whether you are currently a member of a union or not, we all owe a good portion of the high standard of working conditions in America to the union movement. And while there might have been an argument a decade ago that the movement was approaching irrelevancy, in today's climate of conglomeration and near-monopolization in industry-after-industry, the need for a unified voice of the worker is growing strong again. What good is a "I'll just take another job" philosophy when all other jobs are controlled by the same people who forced you to start looking in the first place?
