whew its been a while

well, it has been quite a long time since I have last posted on my blog. Since my last post, I passed the NY bar, got admitted to the bar, worked in NJ and now most recently, work in NY as a labor attorney representing labor unions, my original goal had i decided to actually practice law at all.

Putting that aside, I write to discuss the current state of the labor movement in the US. It was announced this week that labor union membership increased in 2011 by approximately 60,000 people. That is awesome! However, the percentage of Americans that belong to labor unions actually decreased by .1%. Why in this current economy are labor unions still not a viable option for American workers? Why aren't people flocking to labor unions to receive the protection they provide from employers?
This is a topic I will be looking into over the next few weeks.
Hope someone will read this besides me.
