But the people have also had 30 years of people trashing the unions rightfully in some cases and with flat out propagandized lies in others. So in 30 years you have almost and entire work force that has been brainwashed to believe unions bad.

Also, as I stated above in many work places the mere mention of union will get your ass fired and the right to work laws will always back the employer.... TODAY. So people are brainwashed and scared about unions.

That can change real fast as the workers who are struggling as I described above start seeing how the top executives and so on are getting HUGE ass bonuses while we bail them out, while they lay off huge parts of their work force and as they tell the workers that they will have to try to cut wages/benefits/etc.

It's all a pendulum Ace, has been since the beginning of this country. The pendulum is now swinging towards the workers.

It'll hit middle and then keep swinging the other way. But then it will continue too far the other way and this cycle will repeat.

So while TODAY you maybe able to show how no one wants to join a union, but with the right media push and laws protecting the worker so that they can freely discuss it and not fear for their job that opinion can change extremely fast to the point where the majority of workers will be demanding unionship.
