That was then, this is now. That falls under ancient history.
Did the unions do anything? Sure but the organizers didn't put themselves in the line of fire. They found some poor sap to go out there and get shot. Do a little research. It wasn't spontaneous uprisings. Union organizers, who stood to gain by running the union, collecting dues and then paying themselves off the backs of the workers (yea they exploited the workers) promised them the moon, got them to strike and when the company police showed up let them get shot.
Yea they did help make the workplace safer but the 40 hour week and decent wages were put into play, long before the UAW, by Henry Ford. No, not because he was a good man but because it greatly reduced worker turnover/absenteeism thereby making his production lines much more efficient.
Today raising the cost of production as then makes prices go up to cover increased payroll. That in turn drives companies out of business or forces them to outsource to stay competitive. When it applies to companies contracting with the government it cost me and every other tax paying person more money.
For most Americans that means the unions haven't saved one job, kept one company in business or cut the amounts spent by our elected representatives. So tell me how great an organization is that has only cost me money and given me nothing?
