DOES LABOR RECOGNIZE HOW RADICALLY IT HAS TO CHANGE?

FOR MANY AMERICANS THE DEATH OF LABOR SEEMS THE NATURAL ORDER OF THINGS, THE DINOSAUR FINALLY SHUFFLING OFF TO THE GRAVEYARD….

TO THE YOUNG, EVEN TO MOST CAMPUS ACTIVITISTS, UNIONS ARE A HOLDOVER FROM THEIR GRANDPARENTS’ GENERATION, SPEAKING A LANGUAGE AS INCOMPREHENSIBLE AS Old ENGLISH:SOLIDARITY, SHOP STEWARDS, SENIORITY, STRIKES…

WHERE ARE UNIONS IN THE NEW ECONOMY??? WILL ANYONE UNDER 30 EVEN NOTICE IF UNIONS CEASE TO BE?

IF THE DINOSAUR DIES…… ORDINARY AMERICANS LOSE THEIR RIGHT TO BARGAIN COLLECTIVELY NONUNION WORKERS IN INDUSTRIES WITH AT LEAST 25% UNIONZATION WILL BE AFFECTED AS WELL AS HISTORY PROVES THESE WORKERS ENJOYED 7.5% HIGHER WAGES BECAUSE OF THEIR COUNTERPARTS IN UNION INEQUALITY BETWEEN UPPER & LOWER CLASS WILL GROW LARGER POLITICALLY, THE LIBERAL HOUSE LOSES ITS ANCHOR TENANT. MIDDLE CLASS LOBBYIST WILL BE LOST

Through workers associations, work centers, and “alt-labor” groups, millions of these workers — along with part-time workers, temporary workers, and those who work for employers that have no union — are using new tactics to fight against that inequality of bargaining power.alt-labor While the structures of these groups vary, each is pushing for higher wages, better working conditions, and other issues that benefit not just them but others in their communities. The groups are not competing with traditional unions, but rather working alongside them and in tandem.
