At last report, about 6% of employees in the private sector were unionized. They have been decimated by corporate threats and corporate thugs. The Republicans are lying hypocrites when they talk about public sector doing the same as the private sector. And they know it...

An employee that even hints at organizing a union will be summarily dismissed in right-to-work states and documentation will be inventively "created" everywhere else. It is almost impossible to "collecticely bargain" in most jobs left in this country.

Workers are intimidated and scared to even whisper the word. Many are one paycheck from the street and they have families to feed and bills to meet. This is the reality. Collective bargaining is only a fantasy to most American workers.
