Even the Clergy have Representation

A minister in the United Methodist Church told me that he was in fact a member of a strong union albeit the negotiation is carried on in a cool gentlemanly way. Baptist churches have pulpit committees that speak on behalf of the minister and the church staff. However the blue collar worker that attends these churches and is expected to support them is in all probability working without any representation at all.
Over the past thirty years wages have slipped here in the U.S. and so have benefits and hours worked. In most cases the worker has had no say in what has happened to him or her. Especially here in the south we have taken this shafting like a whooped puppy. Now we are making do with Check into Cash places on every corner and paying through the nose with interest rates as high as 200 percent per year. These high interest places have bought off the state legislators and once again the working man is getting the shaft.
For the first time there is now technology in the hands of the working class that could change things for the better. We are of course talking about smart phones, social media and the like but as I follow this on the web I do not see any focused discussion or any pressure being put on the powers that be. Secondly I do not see the savvy that would be needed to pull this off without alerting the gate keepers first. More about this later.
