that is true. which is why so many think that unions are so great now, because they served great purposes then.

People have the right to unionize. That's the point. That right is being attacked by demonizing the unions in the name of deficits.

This is an anti-union fight, because removing the last vestiges of unions, removes a great force standing in front of massive deregulation and removal of established worker rights. And that is what the biggest corporate donors want. They don't care about unions - they just want to demonize those evil teachers, firefighters and policemen so the public will support them in taking unions out.

There is a method to this madness on the part of the GOP. They even handed out "how to" sheets and ALEC hands out model laws for the Republican governors to pass.
