Nothing like reading Upton Sinclair to make one overlook the shortcomings of unions. They are comprised of humans - still vulnerable to all seven of those deadly sins.I think the list could be updated .If history is any guide ,those interested will note how unions have been manipulated by both facists and marxists to achieve the desired objective.How about keeping the "goons" home for a change and let the working person truly cast ONE vote for the candidate of their liking.

As the American economy continues to dive and average Americans have been the victims, Labor is being revived as a force to balance against a stacked deck. The anti-labor flavor of the some capitalists and politicians has gone over the top with greed and its undercutting our nation. This isn't 'America First' when folks like McCain is pushing the US Air Force to buy French jets, and undercutting America's largest export industry.

Its become transparent to taxpayers that they are picking up the tab for entitlements of the wealthy, cronies and lobbyists - constituents and beneficiaries of the Bush administration. No surprise the American economy is broken with these financially irresponsible folks in charge.

No wonder labor and populism are revived. Folks also see all the bailouts of hedge funds and banks as an affront to capitalism, when we have this weird socialism to covers losses for the rich and then abandons the vast majority who suffer as a result of what they see as incestuous corruption.
