I'm a union guy; I've always been. I've been in SAG 35 years; my father was a garbage man, a sanitation man, for the city, a union guy.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In my college years, I worked as a union labor organizer. I was just one of the many workers trying to do my part to help the community.
Hey, I'm a former union president myself and also an attorney that represented a lot of unions.
I'm pro Union.
I came from a working-class family. My dad was in a union. I never forgot what it was like to be a private.
Back in early 1983, my dad was tasked with keeping unions from organizing in his company's distribution centers. His work pulled him away from home for months on end.
I was on my own union council for twenty-odd years.
And the success of the union movement, historically, has always been to benefit all working men and women - not just people who belong to the union.
My parents were both union members, and I grew up hearing how important it was to empower workers and have fair labor practices.
My father was a meat worker. He was a union organizer in the meat workers union.
While unions did not play a part in my family life when I was being brought up, my early years were most certainly spent in a working-class community.
