Thanks for the link to labor canvas in NYT.

I had a young woman come by my door about three weeks ago with the same group. She was well organized and made the case for joining the union advocacy group.,

I have to say: what took them so long?

There are a ton of people like me running small businesses and free lance artist I work with who could benefit and be a benefit to unions.

What is it with the union that they don't offer members in their advocacy group a benefits package?

If Allstate can offer a package, why can't the AFL CIO?

As part of my dues, I would gladly send an email and or call people about political issues of the day.

My health insurance costs at Good Nature have gone up 30% a year.

And I keep shopping for less and less coverage for me and my small staff.

It is absurd!

Keep up the good blogging.
