Bill Martin's comments on Unions are completely wrong. He has swallowed the Republican and Murdoch press propaganda hook, line and sinker. Unions ARE NOT incompatible with a competitive economy. Sweden has the world's highest rate of Union membership, at 84%. The hourly productivity of workers is higher there than it is the USA. Blue collar and service industry employees also get better pay and conditions, like paid maternity leave and 5 weeks annual leave. Working conditions in America are the worst in the Western world.
