I thought Congress passed the laws, but what is it about working
conditions now that obviates unions?  There are still lots of unsafe
plants with hungry workers with no benefits.  If unions were once a
necessity (and I agree that they were), what would keep conditions
from reverting to those pre-union times if you took them away?
If you say "But this is the 1980's" you've not witnessed the plight
of farm workers.  How can you believe that only the unions are greedy?
