I think there is a trend that unions are starting to get stronger again.I think that company owners and management have been taking advantage to the extreme of the economy and what has been going on in the government.Employees have been paying a price for this for many years. Local 1 in N. Y. is a prime example with the strike. Owners are getting too greedy.Good for the employees of Lehigh Press.
