Ch. 14 Unions

CONCEPT:
Unions have been around for years. The helped change how America treats its employees. The helped protect the working class giving them fair wages and safe working conditions. Today they still have their place, they help negotiate contracts in a lot of areas, like the airlines and automotive industries.
EMOTIONAL HOOK:
Back in the day with the industrial revolution when kids were forced to work in factories with their parents in horrible conditions. Thats were unions can step in an help make the place where you work tolerable.
KEY POINTS:
Unions have their place today, but not as much as they did 30+ years ago. With each passing year the need for unions seems to be less and less. Unions are good and bad, they are not perfect and are not for everybody.
FACILITATED QUESTION:
Would you ever join a union?
