      Well, maybe the ILGWU, but they make fringe. They aren't fringe.

      I wouldn't have been surprised if her list on the left side would have been MoveOn, ACORN, LABOR UNIONS, and DEMOCRATS.

      Look, it's CNN. No real reporters doing real journalism here. Nothing to see. Move on.

      All Unions are Socialist enterprises that use hit men to peddle their "influence" to the non-believers. But "fringe", No.

        Thank you for that clarification. All these years I thought they were using their hitmen to paddle their "influence" into non-believers. Imagine my chagrin, or my four year old brain, safely stored down in the root cellor.
        Take my lice...please.

      Unions are fringe groups, you know the radical agenda they have pushed or are pushing to become policies. The 40 hours work week, radical. Equal pay for equal work, radical. Vacation and sick days, another radical idea. Living wages for workers, radical. Provision of benefits to members, radical ideas. Collective bargaining, yes being able to pull the capital of labor just as people pull together their capital to form corporations, another radical idea. I know an organization which goal is to better the life of their members and other workers is just radical and we cannot have it in America.
