That must be why they're in decline right? And why the vast majority of the working population doesn't use them? Or perhaps the minuscule wage rises that they bring aren't actually worth the fees to belong to one...
I don't know how it is where you are but here the problem is that the employers outsource production work to cheap facilities overseas. Yes, unions are in decline but American manufacturing is even farther in the shitter.
I hope you aren't like Adrian and think that trusting the corporate whores to do the right thing by the working man is the way to go?
