Unions Influence on the American Worker

Though criticized today by many of the Republican parties, Unions have served a purpose of defending the, "Little Guy," in the growing industrialization of America; many still depend on their unions to improve poor working conditions and force wealthy employers to pay them an equal wage for the work that they do:

All these benefits were established thanks to labor unions during the Age of Industrialization to combat big business. Labor Unions helped to modernize many of the benefits that you expect when you start your jobs; they helped to mold the American Worker.

Today, the Right-to-Work Law, adopted in twenty-four states across the United States, is a law that lowers the powers of labor unions: yes, many of today's population believes unions to be outdated, and are willing to rid their jobs of unions, but the basic purpose of a union is to help you live off of the pay and benefits that you receive.
