2. The union has back me up many times when I needed them.

They provided a lawyer, free of charge, when someone would not pay me. I got paid. It's the average man's muscle.

3. You used to be able to identify railroad workers by their lack of fingers.

A 15 cent item would have prevented the maiming. But it was cheaper to get new workers.

My grandmother worked ten hours a day six days a week at a sewing machine before her shop unionized. If you say that's what you work now, I'll bet you have no union where you work.
