My grandmother was in textiles. She was in one of the first Chicago strikes. She had friends maimed in factories. My grandmother remembered the conditions and told me all about them. She made it very real to me. And both my parents made the depression very real for me. Because of their oral histories I do not take lightly the magnificent working conditions of today. Power in the hands of workers is a recent phenomenon and imo highly beneficial. The less power is concentrated in the hands of a few, the better. While I realize there are power centers in unions, they do not alarm me. What does alarm me are the horrible working conditions being shipped off shore. I would rather pay more and know that what I purchase was made by folks making a decent wage. I am trying not to buy items from China. I've found great Scandinavian shoes- I'm sure they were made under decent conditions. And I am trying very hard to buy American textile products- I would urge anyone who supports unions to do the same. It makes no sense to support unions and then buy overseas goods made by non-union labor.
