37. I once felt as you do.
And relised that if all employers treated their employees fairly that there would be no need for them. I figured that OSHA had taken over the role of the union in looking out for worker safety. I even worked in a plant back in the 70's and fought OSHA laws...

But OSHA is nothing more than a name anymore. The man who sells his labor has no voice today. It has been silenced. His jobs have been sent overseas or the corporations import third world people who are content to live like Tom Joad lived as a farmworker.

We need unions and we need an organised workforce or this country will just sell itself to Dubai and its Constitution will mean nothing.
