As soon as the neo cons starting crushing the unions, wages started falling. I'm not sure the unions are ever going to make a come back, and without them working people have no lobby in Washington. An idea: Old folks have AARP, perhaps working folks should have an AAWP (American Association of Working People). It might replace the diminished power of unions, and then some. Small dues, but a huge base and voting block. Activist, but politically agnostic. Just working for issues that support wages, benefits, working conditions. Unions are so last century, we need a modern equivalent. I think it would scare the crap out of the powerful, and could be a good educational tool to counteract right wing media.
