Just heard on TV that "Norma Rae" has passed on. Condolences to her family and friends. R.I.P. (Love the movie.)
"Norma Rae" Died

As a result companies went under or moved
Unions do not work when a company can move to the next state to avoid them
She was the impetus in " right to work states " where all shops have to be open
Sally Fields made more money from the movie than Norma ever did, sad

And unscrupulous companies who abuse, exploit and ripoff workers for Corporate GREED made far far more than both of them....even sadder!....
I don't have much of an issue with private sector unions that must compete in the real world. My distaste is with overpaid underworked monopoly bully public sector unions that hold the public to ransom.
BTW I also support whistleblowers like Erin Brockovitch (check spelling) and those guys who took down the tobacco companies and Pfzer (check spelling). I am a strong supporter of ETHICAL capitalism and a strong opponent of UNETHICAL capitalism.
