Letter: Kennedy always a friend of working man and woman
To the editor:
Ted Kennedy understood the history of America's middle class.
In 1935, Congress allowed workers to form unions by signing petitions. Once they had a union, they could bargain with their employer. Once they could bargain, their wages increased.
For decades, wages increased at the same rate that worker productivity increased. The middle class grew. Families' lives got better.
