A new Labor Day video from the American Federation of Government Employees illustrates what unions have done for working people and why they remain relevant today. The 2-minute video, "Unions: Now More than Ever," shines a spotlight on all of the rights and protections that exist today in the workplace because of union activism.
The video also explains why collective organizing remains vitally important today, since so many employees work for substandard pay and benefits and don't have a voice in the workplace.
It's worth your time.
