No, don't worry, i'm not Jim Demint, however, I do wonder why Democrats support unions so strongly. Unions help workers earn decent pay and give them benefits. But have we gone too far on the pay and benefits? Some have made the argument that they are sometimes too powerful. However, that is why I have posed the question to DailyKos, for some insightful responses.
Now, I don't need the answer "republicans just don't like unions because they want their CEO buddies to make more money." - That's the typical answer.
Insightful responses.
The question is, simply, as a progressive/liberal/dem, Why do YOU support unions?
So, what are your thoughts? What have you read? Are they getting better benefits than many other hard working Americans? Should we tone their power down a little?
