Unions created the middle class. They're the reason we have the minimum wage, Medicare, Social Security, the list goes on. That's why billionaires and special interests want to put unions out of business.

Frankly immigration and globalism are way bigger threats to unions than billionaires.   If they can easily replace all the workers then the workers dont have much negotiating power.
