Conservative Reader:
It’s time to say goodbye to unions. Their time has come and gone. The real original value of unions have long since been replaced by state and federal laws that drive a significant amount of basic workers rights, and the labor market itself now drives a majority of the salary and benefits needs for most organizations. Of course, you would have to believe in discipline as a means to long term success for this to make sense, and that’s just not the case in the world of the Left.
It’s quite possible that unions will survive for quite some time, but not because they are necessary. Since they have limited value to union members, they are becoming more and more desperate to find ways to stay alive.
First, it should be noted that the laws were put in place to reinforce the position of the unions in the working world.
As to the unions outliving their use, this is true. Many orgs, particularly large ones, do similarly.
I want you to do a little research, today, into the originally stated purpose of the ‘March of Dimes”. [1] The smarter among you won’t take long to get my point.
