God save the poor corporations helpless at the hands of workers actually uniting. Bullies indeed.
Unions are fading away partly because public perception of them has changed. Rather than something to be proud of, unions are regarded as a parasite on corporations, much to Wal Mart's pleasure. Unions have done a lot of good in the past. They can continue to do so, but only if public image changes.
My father belongs to an electrician's union, the benefits? Well, benefits for one. A higher starting salary and stringent safety requirements. You'll have to pardon me if I don't feel bad for a large corporation that feels the real effects of the free market.
