WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama set his sights on Capitol Hill Saturday, ready to rally House Democrats for a final push on landmark health care legislation as he hunted for the precious few votes for victory. The battle tilted in Obama’s direction Friday as more Democrats disclosed how they would vote. But with a hardly a single vote to spare, the divisive issue of how to keep federal funds from being used to pay for abortions re-emerged as a potential last-minute obstacle

For years, Coca-Cola and PepsiCo have been at odds in the beverage category, pushing each other forward in the race for market share, innovation, and advertising impressions. Though amicable, there has never been any doubt that they were competing for the preference and consumption of the same audience. As a result, their actions have often been compared, and their recent mirrored campaigns of social responsibility have introduced another opportunity to draw comparisons.

The effort was discussed during a closed-door meeting on Tuesday night, with a faction arguing that the way to salvage reform is to persuade the Senate to pass the public health insurance option using the budget reconciliation process that needs only a majority vote

Whats in it for me?, people would inquire. There are a few people who think fighting for a cause to be unnecessary. They are usually just satisfied to sit around and allow other people to fight for the causes that are crucial for the betterment of the lives of people. This kind of action is downright irresponsible. Apathy is not a thing to be admired. In fact, many noble men have said that being a fence sitter is the most serious crime. Each person owes it to himself and to other people to at least make a stand.
One way to make a stand would be to join a trade union. In today unstable economic climate, these trade unions could use all the aid they can get. So many workers are at risk of being fired because companies are attempting to cut costs. And each signature on a petition would certainly help a lot. But really, lets be practical. Lets go back to the first inquiry, what is, indeed, in it for you?
Ensuring your Job Security
Hard times are upon us these days, and nobody is exempt from the risk of losing his job because this is an ever-present threat. Sometimes, its all a person can do to wait and hope for the best. But there are some actions you can do to lessen the risk. If you join a trade union, they can take measures in order to ensure that you and your fellow members are not laid off unjustly. But in the situation where getting fired is unavoidable, unions can at least ensure that its members get a nice settlement.
Free Legal Advice
If you are ever in a scenario where you feel that you have been unfairly treated, you can count on the trade union to give you useful legal advice. You wont have to pay an exorbitant amount of money just to get advice from a lawyer. In fact, the trade union can even give you the representation you possibly might need.
Increased Pay and Working Conditions
The main purpose of Trade Unions is to act as advocates for the employees. They continually campaign for change, for improvement. And if you support your trade union, then you would have a bigger chance at getting a salary increase and better bonuses.
