I think about the workers, too, and what unions did to improve their circumstances. Now we are being pushed backward.

For anyone interested, the attempt to organize a union at Mystic Seaport failed. One of the problems is that workers in certain positions were laid off for six weeks during the winter, while many in other positions were not. Among those laid off were those who work most directly with museum visitors: chantey singers, demo squad, historic interpreters, etc.
