5. Welcome to DU! I'm happy to see you here.

We are a union household. My husband is UNITE, and President of the County AFL-CIO CLC.

Thanks for posting that link. Working Families is a great site. If you have an interest in the labor movement you may enjoy looking over this site, An Eclectic List of Events in U.S. Labor History:

Sometimes I go there and read. It helps me remember just how bad it could get and just why we continue the fight for the right to collective bargaining.
