True that organized labor was a big help to the working class and
improved wages, safety, working conditions. Unfortunately, some of the
unions became infested with criminals and went too far. There were more
interested in collecting dues.

If I was born into the 1930s working class I'd be a union organizer but
when I hit the workforce I'd never join one and pay the thugs. I had a
front row seat dealing with them for about 17 years.
