Yes, of course conservatives will always do whatever they can to dismantle unions. But liberals who in an effort to appear "unbiased" equate the political influence of unions with that of corporations contribute to the public suspicion of unions. Here I'm thinking specifically of Stephen Colbert's "union and corporate contrbutions" statement outside the FEC last week - a featured video of which is on your site. Union poliitcal influence is not now nor has it ever been equivalent to that of corporations and we need to be very clear about the difference in the power beween unions -organizations that repesent the interests of workers - i.e. all of us- and those that represent the interests of a few - corporate shareholders.
