They don’t know the union brought them the eight hour day, the weekend and healthcare to start with. We need to support our unions. Buy union made products and services or made in the U.S.A. That’s what’s going to keep the union going. We need to participate and attend the union meetings to make our elected officials know what we want and need. There are several committees to serve us and at one time or another we are all going to need one of them. So, I challenge you all to attend the union meetings.
