IS THERE A 21ST CENTURY REPLACEMENT FOR THE LABOR UNION...?
CLEARLY THE LABOR MOVEMENT HAS BEEN DISTORTED BY RECENT EVENTS...LIKE GLOBALISM AND OFF SHORING
LABOR UNIONS ARE NOW ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY FOUND IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR...THE HATED "TEACHERS UNION" BEING THE BEST EXAMPLE...
LARGE UNIONIZED COMPANIES...ARE MOVING PRODUCTION OFF SHORE...IF THEY CAN...
THOSE THAT CAN'T OFF SHORE OR OUTSOURCE ....ARE TRYING TO GET RID OF LEGACY COSTS BY GOING BANKRUPT... GM...AND NOW THE MAKER OF "TWINKIES"...BEING THE RECENT EXAMPLES...
SOME NEW COMPANIES LIKE APPLE...KEEP HQ IN THE US...BUT PRODUCE EXCLUSIVELY IN ASIA...
AND THE REST OF AMERICA IS STUCK IN "SMALL BUSINESS" SERVICE JOBS...THAT CAN'T UNIONIZE OR ARE TOO LOW MARGIN TO UNIONIZE...
WALMART AND MICKY'DS COULD UNIONIZE...AND THAT IS PROBABLY COMING SOON... OR AT LEAST THE ATTEMPT...
UNIONS USED TO BE THE SOURCE OF PROGRESSIVE LEGISLATION FOR ORDINARY PEOPLE...AND THEY STILL ARE TO SOME EXTENT...BUT A SHRINKING ECONOMY IS PRESSURING PUBLIC SECTOR UNIONS NOW...AS THEIR TAX BASE GETS SMALLER...AND SMALLER DURING THIS DEPRESSION...
CAN THE POLITICAL PARTY...SUBSTITUTE FOR THE LABOR UNION...?
AFTER ALL PROGRESSIVE IDEAS MUST ULTIMATELY BE PASSED INTO LAWS...?
THE OBAMA "GRASS ROOTS" ORGANIZING...ON THE INTERNET AND ELSEWHERE...MAY BE THE FIRST SIGNS OF WHAT A "POST UNION" PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENT COULD LOOK LIKE...
AND IT WILL LIKELY BE BETTER AND BIGGER THAN THE OLD LABOR MOVEMENT COULD EVER HAVE DREAMED OF BEING...!
