Article is op/ed material, not reporting, and a good editorial at that. It brings up a topic that is too little discussed in today's media. However, the editorial misses the opportunity to point out that in the past, unions often had their own newspapers and these newspapers gained wide distribution. The current decline in public confidence in the corporate media would seem to present the unions with a renewed opportunity to gain entry in this area. If not newspapers, unions could start radio stations and/or web sites to distribute the news as they see it. Maybe they could even hire real reporters to investigate what is going on, an approach the corporate press seems to be abandoning.
