Union advertising

I've been seeing a fair bit of advertising by the Canada Labour Congress on TV lately, trying to rehabilitate the general public's view of unions (see Fairness Works for a sense of the content). I couldn't find any videos of the ads, but I did find this one on UFCW's page:



The idea of identifying the benefits of trade unionism isn't new ("From the people who brought you the weekend...") but it is nice to see some counter-hegemonic advertising about broader utility of collective action.
