So Union members are feeling failed by the AFL-CIO? Well, how about the guys that got 'em their unions in the first place?

The IWW.

The bosses called 'em "the commies," but when the bosses convinced the new union men to dump the people who went to the line for them, then the bosses called the union men "the suckers."
Bring back the IWW -- there's a reason the status quo doesn't approve of them.
