Full Transcript of the Mitt Romney Secret Video

Both from Mother Jones. Just in case you don't know about the original Mother Jones - Mary Harris Jones. See too this from Mother Jones the magazine.

The Wikipedia entry is a good read. An excerpt that ought to serve as a reminder why unions came into being:

"In 1903 Jones organized children, who were working in mills and mines at the time, to participate in the "Children's Crusade", a march from Kensington, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Oyster Bay, New York, the home of President Theodore Roosevelt, with banners demanding "We want to go to School and not the mines!" As Mother Jones noted that many of the children at union headquarters had missing fingers and other disabilities, she attempted to get newspaper publicity about the conditions in Pennsylvania regarding child labor."

Labor unrest wasn't always about wages and pensions - it had a social construct.
