What this country needs is a good depression,” my Dad would say when speaking about the materialism he saw around him. Dad worked at Ford and Mom sold shoes. They banked their savings and borrowed only to buy our home.

Glad for legacy of labor
I have a middle-class life. My employer pays me a living wage, provides health insurance, grants me days off when I'm sick and offers vacation pay. And while I'm not a member of a union, as a student of American history I know that the legacy of the labor movement is largely the reason that I enjoy these benefits today.

Membership Ratifies Four-Year Contract
APWU members ratified a four-year Collective Bargaining Agreement by a vote of 84,486 to 12,016, in balloting that concluded Jan. 12. The new National Agreement, which is retroactive to Nov. 21, 2006, will expire Nov. 20, 2010. “I consider this contract to be among our union’s strongest achievements,” said APWU President William Burrus. “Wage increases, upgrades, and Cost-of-Living Adjustments were secured, and ‘no-layoff’ protection and other benefits were continued.”
