Is this just about greed?


I am so grateful to the USCCB statement on the rights of the workers in Wisconsin. I have head so many untruths about this issue that I devote this entry to the right of men and women to form associations and unions. I need not re-list all of the Catholic Church documents since Rerum Novarum (about 26 years after the Civil War) so this is nothing new or novel. Being the son of a steel worker laborer from Pittsburgh PA I feel I can speak with some authority. Acknowledging my pro union bias, at least the right of men and women to form unions, I also will recognize and admit that greed has no politic, or state of employment; union or non-union. Don't take my word, read the statement:http://www.usccb.org/comm/archives/2011/11-038.shtml
