Why do Unions matter?

I’ll be asking some distinguished members of the Brandeis community to weigh in on this. For now, please read this article. It’s a magnificent look at the past, present, and future of organized labor in America. The article is four pages long, written by Kevin Drum of Mother Jones, and it’s a great primer on what’s been going on.

I can’t even excerpt it – read it now.

Interesting side note – Yale Spector, my suitemate (and I’m proud to say, friend) helped create the Mother Jones site. How cool is that?
