Christine Donohue is running for the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. She’s been given the highest rating by the Pennsylvania Bar Association, and she would be a great addition to the Court.
She’s also a Carbon County native from Lansford. Her father was a coal miner; her mother worked in the textile industry.
How did a local girl from Lansford get the money to go to college and law school? Her father was in the United Mine Workers; her mom in the ILGWU. Union jobs, union pay, upward mobility.
Today the Morning Call ran an article entitled “Poll: Most support workers’ right to unionize.” Let’s hope so--countries that forbid workers from unionizing have a name. They are called “dictatorships.”
The article noted that a majority of Republicans think the decline of unions has benefited workers. These people do not inhabit the same world in which I live.
