CJ,
Now what is the percentage of union workers in private industry now? What was it in the 1970s?
LOL, you're in the same boat of denial as SilentZ is.

The decline of unions didn't happen because of some concerted effort by the GOP to marginalize them. It happened because people these days don't feel the need to support them as strongly as before. That's it.

The only reason why unions didn't decline any faster than they did was because of their tight hold on government.

You don't think that has anything to do with the fact that unions are bad for workers and bad for consumers?
