Major lies by the left, and of course you believe them.. Unions got us the 40 hour workweek, overtime and safe working conditions. No, unions didn't get you the 40 hour work week. Henry Ford instituted the 40 work week in 1926. Ford was unionized 15 YEARS LATER in June 1941. How could the union have gotten them the 40 work week? There are good and bad unions and good and bad businesses and business people. You cannot group them all together. No, they are all bad. There hasn't EVER been a good union. Unions hurt people you think they help. They hurt everyone by making the economy weaker. If left to go on long enough, they always kill their host. Workers found they needed unions as they were so abused in the past by business. Workers would have been better off without unions. In a strengthening economy employers have to make working conditions better or lose employees. That's what happened to Henry Ford in 1926. Lots of history of worker abuse in the early 1900's. It was terrible. Then let the economy strengthen so employers are forced to compete for employees.
