Tim's grandfather left his job as a sportswriter to become a typesetter at the newspaper, because the position was a union job. The security created by his union allowed Tim's father to pursue a legal career. Tim supports organized labor because it created the middle class and helped integrate the American workplace. Greedy corporations are leading and funding ideological attacks on labor, and he will fight alongside unions to stop assaults on workers' dignity and rights, and to battle economic inequality.
