Unions

Today is a big day for United States workers. There are 6,000 Amazon employees in Alabama voting to authorize a union. The Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union is facing an uphill battle because unions are not popular in the south. This could be the start of revitalizing unions, something that is badly needed to help the middle income groups who have suffered the loss of manufacturing jobs to other countries. This along with the Presidents plan to buy American and make American can bring back the good old days of the 1950's when wages outpaced inflation for the blue collar folks.
