Unions see Missouri win as red state watershed

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Unions are looking at their recent lopsided ballot measure win in deep-red Missouri as a watershed moment and a sign of victories to come.

The Missouri vote last week to overturn a right-to-work law restricting unions follows a string of successful red-state protests on teachers wages in recent months.

Now, after years of political decline, unions are eyeing new initiatives in an environment that has proved unexpectedly fertile.

“Coming off the 2016 election, what we’re seeing is a huge move toward collective action,” said Julie Greene, the Mobilization Hub director for the AFL-CIO.

But the unions have to remember that they exist for the benefit of the workers they represent.
The president on down of the unions do not need a lavish lifestyle or exorbitant salaries to get there workers the rights they deserve.
