2. Too many people don't understand the history of Unions
I remember when the Berlin Wall fell and the Neocons were riding high. I saw the way in which Unions and their leaders were being attacked in all countries where the Neoliberal model was being pushed. I remember a seminar where a few of us raised the issue and pointed out that workers rights across the globe would be sacrificed at the altar of globalization. Well the model has finally been implemented in the US.
Dickenson is correct - workers will reach breaking point across the globe.

I hope the Democratic party has a serious plan to address the rights of workers or they too will feel the wrath of the working poor.
