Imagine where we'd be if American workers always believed this and didn't create unions: 60+ hour workweeks; no safety regulations; 50¢ an hour; no sick, maternity, or vacation time; no healthcare; no worker's comp; no short or long-term disability, etc. etc.

Not that you did this, but I think it's awesome when people slam middle class unions of companies whose executives are making ridiculous amounts of money or who are able to use every loophole to not pay taxes.

In any case, I wouldn't give money to ANYONE over the phone these days.
