[QUOTE="It will be fine, post: 1654588, member: 55017"] By strong labor I meant a strong labor movement or coalition like market 40ish years ago where 30-40% of the workforce was represented by unions. I don't believe the middle class would be better off with everyone represented by unions. That would concentrate power too much as well. There needs to be a balance so companies are competing. Right now all political and financial power is controlled by corporations and there is no opposing force. Unfortunately the average American worker/voter doesn't seem to care. For Express to even begin to unionize it would take some serious acts of civil disobedience. Something like organizing a major metro area and striking. I don't think it would be "legal" under the RLA and it would jeopardize the jobs of everyone involved, but without a statement of similar magnitude no national union will go near it. Like I said earlier, people just care about themselves and won't risk their jobs to make that even plausible. [/QUOTE]
