The video below shows a segment of a speech given by former President Reagan praising unions and their importance. Interesting piece as current day republicans always invoke Reagan's name as somebody who exemplifies their values. This is another example of the myth created about Reagan by republicans. As stated in a previous post Reagan is not anything like the present republican party tries to make him out to be. In regards to unions, Reagan in the documentary is credited with turning unions from new deal democrats into the republicans after WWII. I never knew this. Very interesting part of the documentary for me.
Some more info on rejecting the myth of Reagan.
