[QUOTE="brown_trousers, post: 1359924, member: 29972"] You wont find any examples because you are right. Unions dont fail because of legislation, they fail because of the employees in that union and/or the taxpaying voters. People are just looking for someone to blame, and republicans are an easy target. Congress just doesnt have enough power to kill unions on their own. Because any legislation they pass can basically be vetoed by voters through the referendum/initiative process. And even in RTW situations, the employees have the final decision whether to opt out of the union, not the republicans in congress. I believe our FTers in those RTW states prove that a WELL represented employee will still choose to be union if given the choice. How many FT drivers really choose to opt-out of the union? Last i heard, it is very, very few that do. It is just the under-represented employees (PTers) that we risk losing. We should instead look at RTW as a challenge on how to better represent our PTers to gain the same level of support we get from our FTers. [/QUOTE]
