[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 5536279, member: 58386"] You simply have reaffirmed what I already said , you not as powerful as you once were. You know why? I'll tell you why. I had a conversation with the president of my state's AFL-CIO. Public employees in my state thanks to the courts were able to form a union unopposed by local and state government. Easy money for the unions. TOO easy. In the years since I've noticed a near complete disappearance of unions in the private sector. I pointed out to the president that the AFL-CIO and it's member unions got fat off the public sector and have become timid and gun shy when it came to efforts to organize private sector employees. In his response he told me that private sector employers have far more effective counter measures to disrupt and putdown efforts to organize their workforces than the public sector That combined with states going "right to work" especially down south the presence of unions down there is steadily disappearing and will continue to disappear. And as a result the number of private sector union workers as a percentage of the total private sector workforce will continue to go down. So before to go on ridiculing and looking down your noses at nonunion workers remember, the reason that many of them are nonunion is due to the timidness and complacency of today's labor unions.
