I am personally a firm supporter of unions, which are not perfect, but I strongly believe are the best bastion we have against the excesses of employers. I know some of you have strong anti-union views. The article I'm linking to has a recent speech, on video, of a union man supporting the Obama campaign. He addresses the issue of racism directly, something I've seldom seen in this campaign - it's always referred to as a nervous aside. I thought it was a strong speech. YMMV. http://scienceblogs.com/mikethemadbiologist/2008/10/folksiness_and_the_swing_vote.php#more
