To the editor:
This letter is in support of the union members of Locals 201 and 509 featured in articles of the March 26 Item, “wastewater and mental health workers.” It is time for private and public sector employers to recognize the vital work these employees perform and treat them fairly, as well as all union workers across this country.
Everyone needs to remember who really made America great. Unions made America great, not windbag politicians or corporate greed!
Unions today are still on the frontlines, trying to improve wages and working conditions. Think back to the era before unions, when workers toiled long hours — most in unfit working conditions — for low wages. A lot of people would still be working in these conditions if not for organized labor unions.
Keeping unions strong keeps America strong.
Respectfully,
John S. Norton
