I want you to know that there is at least one professional economist, namely me, who thinks unions are not the problem.  They are the solution.  Strong, effective labor unions must be a big part of any program that has a realistic chance of solving our economic problems.

I want you to know that better wages, not more borrowing, is the foundation of a middle class economy.  Strong unions are our best chance of getting those wages.

I want you to know that middle class economies don't just happen.  They are made, Union Made!

I want you to know that the only people benefiting from anti-union economic policies are people so rich they cannot possibly spend their money in ways that stimulate economic growth.

I want you to know that our economic problems will not somehow magically fix themselves.  They can be fixed, but only through the power of middle class people working together toward the right goals.

I want you to know that when unions have been strong, the middle class has been strong.  When unions have been weak, the middle class has been weak.  This is no coincidence.

Read this little booklet to remind yourself of how important union membership is.  Not just to yourself, but to your families, your neighbors, and the entire American middle class.
