Unions on the Rise !

Don't have to do a story on this one 5 other sites already did

US Labor News from LabourStart

• It's Official: Union membership on the rise!
• Union membership sees biggest rise since '83
• Union membership up slightly. Growth biggest in Western states and among women
• For 1st time in 25 years US union membership numbers rise
• Union rate increased in 2007--for the first time in the past quarter century

You can see some of the victories I was posting about this past year at UnionReview. Unfortunately some sites downplay the importance, but in 25 years of membership loss an upward swing could be considered twice as important. Think US football when the team throws an interception and the other team scores, in essence it is considered a 14 point turnaround. Twice the actual 7 point score. Workers just got a touchdown or 2 depending how you look at it. I see two and more to come in '08
