Why workers, especially in Right to Work states, must join unions -- in less than 90 seconds (VIDEO)

I recently had a hero on Politics Done Right. She paid the ultimate price for attempting to organize the workers into a union.

Evette Avery is a working mother providing for her family. She has been a Teamster Union Steward at UPS, as well as, an activist for workers rights for several years. She is currently working on the most extensive and effective organizing campaign with the IAM to get union representation for Delta ramp and cargo workers. Delta recently terminated Evette after seven years in a most undeserving manner.

All workers must join unions or create one

"A Right to Work state is basically a right to hire and a right to fire," Evette Avery said. "You can come to work with the wrong shirt on today. And you can go out the door, and it would be just fine."

"Having a contract [being in a union], there are steps you would have to go through in order to fire an employee," Ms. Avery continued. "You have that contract in order to protect your job. So without that, in a Right to Work state, it's really a sad situation.

2. Amen!

3. I really don't think unions will be making a comeback in the US and I

say this as retired union member. Unions have been in decline for the last 70 years. The last ones that have any influence at all are the teacher unions and service worker unions and my teachers union was pathetically weak.

4. Our young people have never seen the benefits that strong union membership bring.

They aren't going to learn it by osmosis or by throwing up our hands and saying it's useless.

6. STRONG UNION person here! My thoughts

The laws have been turned to protect the NON-UNION worker! They get ALL the benefits NOT paying dues! THAT'S why they won't vote for the union. NO DUES NO BENEFITS!! That's the way it should be! Yet the union has to fight for the non-union worker! BULLSHIT. THIS get's changed THEN more workers would vote UNION!!
