People seem to forget “The Pajama Game” that it was a Musical about Unions vs Management.

Happy Labor Day: Brought to You by the Unions
Remember when we actually manufactured things in the USA?
Remember when Union Membership was something people were proud of

Remember when there was a Middle Class?
The GOP and the Republicans really turned those images around-while sending jobs overseas and cutting benefits….
Think back to this ad in 1981.
Think back to “Norma Rae”.
THINK!!!
