This would be step #1 in rebuilding the union movement in the US. Lots of smart people from Michael Moore to Noam Chomsky say that strengthening unions is vital to strengthething the US democracy.

Let's make this a plank in the OWS platform!

Some of the 99% work at Wal-Mart, and they are low-paid and powerless. Unions bring a living wage to the middle class, among many other benefits.

after all, higher prices at Walmart would sure help the 99%

The UNIONS are a HUGE part of the problem.
