Having just been in San Francisco earlier this summer, and having been inspired by its progressive spirit in the process, I was greatly disappointed to read this.
When are we going to realize that there is an alternative to making everybody equally miserable? It's called unionization. The way to restore the American dream isn't to drag union workers down to the level of those who do not have what it take to fight for their rights. It's to make it easier for everyone to organize and exercise their rights. The only reason worker's rights emerged from the Stone Age of the nineteen century is because unions fought for things we now take for granted (like weekends and holidays).
We don't need more suffering. We need more unions--and members willing to fight to make them work.
