When you are organized with your co-workers in a democratically controlled union your life IS better.
I'm a member of the NEA, the teachers' union, since 1985. I am active in it. Right now I am in opposition to the currently less than militant leadership of our local, who is hesitant to take definitive action (strike). I am confident that my fellow firebrands' more assertive positions will win over the membership soon.
Our union is founded on the principles of internal democracy. All of your unions can be likewise based, if ya' push the issue hard enough.
Good luck, everyone!

it may work where you live but the laws in Tennessee don"t give Unions much leverage. so 90% of companys here are not unionized.
