Subject: RE: BS: Poverty in the USA
Yes, Unions are first and foremost about human rights.

Health and safety in the workplace is one of the major concerns.

Then there are medical benefits and pension plans.

Its about protecting people from harassment.

Its about seniority and job security.

Its about child labour laws.

Most of all, its about what's fair.

All workers should belong to a union. If all workers belonged to unions, we would have far less poverty.
