What struck me about this alleged union mommy is her frikkin' age. YES, there was once upon a time when unions were necessary to the health and wellbeing of workers. That, as far as I'm concerned, ended the moment union bosses got the bit between their teeth and started shaking down the companies, WHO WERE BY THEN UNDER DIFFERENT MANAGERS WITH DIFFERENT MIND-SETS, ie, decent human beings for the most part, for every damn dime they could. I see the unions exactly the same way I see the minority rights people. At one time there was a need, indeed a moral imperative for them. That day passed at least 40 years ago.
Not to mention, the union leaders who were real heroes back in the day bear no resemblance to today's mobsters.
