What It's Going to Take to Claw Back Middle Class Wealth from the 1%

65. That's pretty much been the plan for years. The GOP wants an illegal labor force to depress wages.

That has been their strategy every time they've backed from their long-standing anti-immigrant stance in various bills. They get support from donors who make money off illegal laborers.

Still a zero sum game to them to destroy solidarity among workers. Despite strong immigrant showing in recent actions, they have not gotten much done because of the continued attacks on their families who have not got full status. This keeps people in personal turmoil and severe financial stress.

I'm not sure what the rank and file union member will be able to do. I know union officials who have the majority of their members voting for teabaggers who say destroying unions is their 'first priority for economic growth.'

Unions been maligned for so long it's set in many people's minds. The greatest failure I can see was the separation of the public and corporate unions. I saw when I was a steward how new unions had to be formed because older ones did not want the new workers affected in their unions. The problems that affect union membership is the same that effects all the demographics of the country.

JMHO.
