Reich: 5 truths about labor unions

He first gives the corporate lies, then the truth. I'm just focusing on the truth. See the video below for detains.

1. Unions are good for all workers, even those not in one. Wages, hours, benefits and working conditions are better when labor has bargaining rights.

2. When workers have the above they have more money to spend and spur the economy. When they spend businesses thrive and hire more workers.

3. Labor union power pales in comparison to business power, so in order to have a more equitable relationship unions need to grow again.

4. Unions span all sectors of the economy.

5. Most new union members are women and minorities.
