A single sentence from a conversation I remember between my father's friends in the late 60s.
"When the union buys ya buddy, ya stay bought for life".
I don't think that has changed much.
I was referring in the "Minutes" to when said overplaying began. I think they (unions) are pretty well beaten-down now. Agree some continued to put up a fight into the 80's, and there are still pockets of activity today, but it's sure not what it was. We export jobs; import workers (both legally and illegally); and automate everything else.
Not sure why it was so hard to see what the end result would be of the Walmartization/race-to-the-bottom of America...I really have little regard for economists. They don't really seem to have much understanding of the human psyche and behavior.
