Sometimes people forget it was the unions who fought for sick leave, forty hour work weeks, and weekends. Having someone on the board who will stand up for working people is not a bad idea.

According to a number of recent newspaper reports, the head goons do a pretty good job of standing up for their own financial interests too…
