Southern Hatred Towards Unions

The south hates unions because of the unions connection to the civil rights movement. Catholic immigrant steelworkers in Birmingham unionized and then helped teach black people how to organize. Richard Shelby (R-Al) and others like him have never forgiven the unions for helping the civil rights movement, and that is why they are so hellbent on crushing organized labor. Union hatred is in their blood.

In a nutshell, there jealous.
