Columnist Marc Cooper writes to his daughter, "Yes, the labor union you work for represents nearly 2 million service workers — about three times the population of Alaska. But, alas, as Governor Palin pointed out, you have no real responsibilities. By helping janitors, security guards, nursing aides and orderlies gain a living wage, paid health care insurance and a retirement fund, you have only robbed them of the personal initiative to go out there and make something better of themselves.

wouldn't expect anything else from one of those coastal papers. meh. ; )
^ sexist!
I hope the writer is proud that his daughter is helping 2 million workers drive up health care costs for the other 120 million workers in this country. Its an economic fact that labor unions destroy job creation, raise costs for everyone and actually produce a net negative preasure on the wages of the non union workers. But a journalist should know better than all the businesses and economists of the country.
Fluff - pure and simple.
