The following is a brief email from President Rich Trumka of the AFL-CIO regarding unions in 2011. It was a tough year for union members, especially in the mid-west as they fought, and are still fighting, attempts to end collective bargaining and impose terrifying Right-to-Work (for less) legislation.
