The labor market now is a far cry from what it was when labor unions were created to fight for worker safety and against abuse. When was the last time you heard legal workers complaining about being forced to work an 80 hour week with no bathroom breaks in deplorable conditions in the US? Unions had a lot to do with the OSHA laws that are in place now to insure worker safety but the contributions they make now are far less than what they were originally created to address.
