Reagan liked unions

I'm not sure that Reagan was that great of a president. His legacy is certainly being exploited by today's conservatives, who like to cherry pick his actions and ignore the things he did that go against current conservative ideology (raising taxes). This quote from his Labor Day speech in 1980 is no different:

"These are the values inspiring those brave workers in Poland ... They remind us that where free unions and collective bargaining are forbidden, freedom is lost." -

Makes you wonder about the reality we are being fed.
