It is that fight that Labor has to focus on. On that score, Labor is in a better position than its been in decades. Public approval of unions is at an all time high. The number of workers seeking to organize has taken a huge upswing. The organized 10% of the workforce are standing up to the boss and demonstrating to unorganized workers that unions are the path to substantial economic, workplace, and life-quality improvements. Labor leaders are gaining public attention for a more militant stand against our rigged economy and reasserting basic labor principles of unity and mutual support. If there ever was a time for Labor to reassert its principles and mount a fight for stronger working family rights, we are in it.
