Unions transformed the lives of working people and in so doing, our very society. Without unions, Health and Safety would not exist. Workers would be exploited wage slaves. Without unions, social mobility would not have been what it was and many of us "middle class" wankers would not be. Too few people belong to unions today. This could have a detrimental effect on working conditions, particularly during a recession. If you perceive that unions are overly political, join and express your voice of moderation.
