Thank you Thom for once again pointing out how important unions are in helping people enjoy a middle class life.

Thank you Thom for once again pointing out how important unions are in helping people enjoy a middle class life. Many times you have told the important story of your childhood and about your dad working in a union tool and die shop. I have never heard you say witch union until todays RANT. I have been a VERY PROUD member of the Machinists Union for 57 years. I have been retired since 2008 but continue to pay my dues. I was a Grand Lodge Representative for nineteen plus years and negotiated dozens of good union contracts. I handled all the National Labor Relations Board work in the Southern Territory for the IAMAW during the Reagan years. In many cases a member would have a legitimate Board charge and I would file a claim with the Board. In the same breath I had to tell them that the Board would more than likely render a decision in favor of the employer. Most of these charges came during organizing campaigns. Reagan's Secretary Of Labor; Ray Donavan; began removing Board Members- many forced to retire- and replacing them with corporate attorney's. It was pure hell dealing with this bunch of union busting hatful people. Thom I truly appreciate all that you do for our great nation. UNION YES; UNION STRONG. Just a PS to let you know that I will share your RANT with all my Facebook friends, mostly union. Also I will intend to ask them to listen to your show, let them know your phone number, and encourage them to subscribe to your daily Rant, Hartman Report.
