Samantha, I beg to differ on this one. Decades ago Unions were strong and
were in a position (for good and bad) to exploit the stupidities of
management. Since the 1970's there certainly has been a fall-off in Unions in
the USA. Some of this is structural as Americans priced themselves out of the
global labor market, in some cases , producing goods like cars and
electronics that the Japanese, Koreans, Taiwanese would beat on both price
and quality! Let us not forget the Labor lawyers hired bu corporations to
beat the Unions, and get legislators to enact anti-Union laws. Now the
lawyers have turned around and have enticed workers to sue on a conditional
basis, in many cases splitting the fee 50/50 when the achive a win.
Corporation management is afraid of lawyers. For they have produced a legal
system that in a darwinian sense, has come back to bite them on their asses.
