[Bucky]

Teacher and union member for 10 years now. Thanks to the union, I'm slightly less screwed than I might otherwise be. But this is Texas, so I don't ask for miracles. That said, I know the union's got my back.

Never forget: until FDR reversed federal policy and started protecting instead of harassing trade unions, this country was headed toward totalitarianism. Unionism reversed the trends of the early 20th Century and made this country a majority middle class nation, which is the bedrock of American prosperity and stability. They aren't perfect, but they have made a positive difference... and the decline of the middle class starting in the 1970s is connected to the decline of unions.
