STOP GOP Union Busting Pt 2: The Unions' Many Accomplishments & Why Big Business Wants to Destroy Them!

Unions have helped America and follow our Founding Fathers' principles that All People are Created Equal and should be treated fairly. Prior to Unions, greedy Big Business took advantage of the working poor. They forced workers to work long hours for low wages in unsafe conditions. They fired at will.

American Workers have realized significant improvements in the work place due to the accomplishments of Unions. Union Accomplishments Include:
- End Long Work Hours (+80 per week - set standard at 40 hrs per week)
- End Unsafe Working Conditions: set safety standards; eliminate toxic dumping
- End Child Labor Abuses
- Established Minimum wage; Overtime Pay; Vacation Time; Pensions; Healthcare
- Equal Pay for Equal Work for ALL Employees Minimizing Preferential Treatment towards "Favorites"

WE SHOULD ALL BE GRATEFUL TO UNIONS FOR MAKING SAFE WORKING CONDITIONS AND LIVABLE WAGES A NORM IN AMERICA!
LET'S NOT LET BIG BUSINESS SUPPORTED REPUBLICANS TAKE ALL OF THESE ACCOMPLISHMENTS AWAY FROM US!

My Father was a proud Union Member. He worked in the auto industry in Michigan most of his adult life. He worked very hard and he was never a rich man, but he did believe in the union. All workers were paid equal wages for equal work, regardless of race, color, creed or gender. The union helped establish safe working conditions, so in the auto shops, this potentially hazardous work-environment, there were very few fatalities or dismemberments.

Now, the Republican Party (based on the urgings of their Big Business contributors) has decided to demolish the Unions. Republicans are funded by Big Business, particularly the Koch Brothers. They want to continue to: . DRIVE DOWN WAGES
. DRIVE DOWN BENEFITS
. END PENSIONS
. REDUCE, LIMIT and in some Cases, END REGULATIONS, including SAFETY & ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS!
. INCREASE THEIR OWN MULTI BILLION DOLLAR SALARIES & BONUSES

To do this, they want to Obliterate the Unions -- totally Demolish them, thereby ending the working man's last hope of arbitration, collective bargaining. In other words, they want to take away all of the GOOD the Unions accomplished and DESTROY THE MIDDLE CLASS. They want to revert us back to the 1920s. Pre-Regulation.

WE SHOULD ALL BE GRATEFUL TO UNIONS FOR MAKING SAFE WORKING CONDITIONS AND LIVABLE WAGES A NORM IN AMERICA!
