Talk about revisionism. Unions couldn't possibly have declined because they priced themselves out of the global marketplace. They couldn't have conceivably just been held onto power through the 50s just because half the world's manufacturing economies had been destroyed by the war. No, it must be anti-union legislation. LMAO.

CJ, But there were a lot of laws, both at the state and federal level, that were aimed at reducing unions. Backing out laws that cemented the stronghold unions have on government is a good thing for the people. The old justification for those laws were, "What's good for the unions is good for the people." Nowadays, unions are just another special interest group. Liberals bristle at that portrayal, but that's only because they have associated the phrase "special interest" with big corporate-funded PACs. Tenchusatsu
