There is a lot of union bashing on this site so here is a link about the people who helped found and build this nation. Note the 1773, 1776, 1788 and 1980 info. If you support the Tea Party Movement and are anti-union you don't know history. The Philadelphia Carpenters Hall is still there. Its called Independence Hall now.
