I will NEVER forget observing my first conversation with a union worker.

Weirdly, it was in an economics class in college. Our professor was explaining exactly what a union was....she is a professor....hence she is pro-union.

One of the students raised her hand and asked why unions were good for individuals, the companies they work for, as well as the nation as a whole.....and also why everyone wasn't in a union.

A guy in our class (from Philadelphia....imagine that) said he worked for a grocery workers union. He couldn't tell us why he joined except for the fact that he made $12 per hour, but in North Carolina he could only make $6. Then he went on to say that the South was backward.

I asked why he was here in the South. He said that he could afford out of state tuition at UNC easier than some obscure PA school's in-state tuition.....however, he couldn't get in to UNC, so he joined us redneck frat boys at ECU.



I look back on it and wonder how things have gotten this way.
