If your assertion were actually true, then unions would be flourishing.



Unions aren't flourishing today because the Democratic party started abandoning them in the 80's, just when the Republican party escalated their assault on them.

No, just. No.

Unions aren't flourishing because they have no reason to exist anymore. They did their job. Now it's just a matter of enriching the union bosses.

Pretending to entertain this rubbish ... again, if Unions are so great, as you claim, and actually do all of the things you assert, and make life so much better for the average worker ... then why would Unions need the Democratic Party to survive and flourish?


Conditions are highly favorable for the Unions to have the upper hand... people simply keep rejecting it in larger and larger numbers.


Now ... in MS ... yeah, I could see where UAW might not have a tough time there ... particularly if rabble-rousers are barking about civil rights and such.

Unions aren't flourishing today because federal regulations have replaced some of their functions, and because the economy has shifted to primarily white collar.
