    Unions were over 40% of workforce in the 1970s.

    Industrial workers and in general employees of big companies subject to constant scrutiny can unionize more easily. So much of that is not due to politics other than moving industries abroad.

      No, it’s really politics.

      Did you forget what happened in the 80s to air traffic controllers? And what has happened repeatedly since then?

      It’s 100% politics, as looking at any other country with unions CLEARLY demonstrates.

      Who told you this tripe? Don’t listen to them. See for yourself
