re: President* Biden: The middle class built this country — and unions built the middle class!

Unions gave us the 40 hour work week, weekends, overtime, holidays, vacation time, health insurance, led to the rise of work place safety, and in fact were what drove the ride of the Amaerican middle class starting in the 1950s.

Unions protect mediocrity and in the past advocated for things the government wouldn’t properly demand from industry. I am glad they helped bring about proper labor conditions, but many other things have been hurtful to the business environment.

Also a big problem in this country is the government advocating for specific working conditions for manufacturing is the country which they do not require of imported goods. That has eroded our manufacturing in this country.
