We are a union family. In my former life, prior to private practice, I helped organize the legal services union, and had the honor to be chosen to represent my fellow workers before the NLRB. My wife is still a member, and my son has spent two years in various union organizing activities. Labor Day should belong to workers, and workers should belong to unions. If we bring back unions, we can bring back the middle class, which is slowly dying.
