Z, Sure there is... it's because corporations put so much money and effort into crippling unions. And they didn't before? The truth is that unions are making themselves irrelevant in today's global economy. People don't feel any need to join a union these days, primarily because of the fact that individuals own their own employability. Also, there is a general sense that unions actually helped cripple things like the auto industry and public education. If you believe that's the result of corporate spending, be my guest. Personally, I'm not impressed with large budgets. Just because Universal poured so much money into the movie Waterworld doesn't mean people will automatically go see it. Tenchusatsu
