Still, thanks.
I think unions proved to be an invaluable tool for labor during the industrial revolution. Union efforts resulted in some very power work place legislation that was needed to balance the power between labor and employers. However today I think the role or need for unions no longer exists or has materially changed. The work place has evolved, employee needs have evolved, I think many people are holding on to unions like a child holds on to a security blanket. Both are false senses of security.
