How does the story you read about A.E. Staley fit with what you read in “Why Unions Matter”?

What were the obstacles that the African-American workers at Staley had to work through before becoming involved in the union’s campaign?

What would you have done if you were them -- would you have gotten involved in the union’s struggle?

How can America reach the point where all people, regardless of race or ethnicity or national background, are treated equally in the workplace?
Answer:
Well, I don't know what YOU READ about A.E. Staley, or what YOU READ in "Why Unions Matter". Maybe you should do your own homework?
We need to break the labor unions

They are nothing but trouble. Organized labor has a history of ties to organized crime (the Mafia). They use violence, fear and intimidation to achieve their goals.

Unions are an anachromism, an embarrasing relic of a bygone era which have no place in modern society.

If I got "involved" in any way, it would be to help the union-busters.
Fair treatment in the workplace? American doesn't want that.
That's why business has enabled a system that allows millions of illegal workers to enter the U.S. Workers that can be cheated out of pay. Workers that can be placed in dangerous situations without crying about it. Workers that can be discarded when they get old, sick, or injured. Unions are a bad for executives who want lots of money in low tax stock options. Executives want workers who don't get medical insurance or overtime pay, or paid vacations.
