There are lots of reasons why workers' interests need to be addressed. This is one of them. Safety. There are more. And for those of you who think workers should be prohibited from banding together for the purpose of insisting on respect and recognition........take Sniper under one arm and Faspaste under the other arm and swim to Cuba.
