You consume too much propaganda. Unions themselves and the reality that so much work is no longer well suited to unionization are responsible for the decline.

You consume too much propaganda. Unions themselves and the reality that so much work is no longer well suited to unionization are responsible for the decline. Unions served a purpose and in somce cases still should but their long history of corruption and their own oppressive tendencies are what drive people away from them. Nevermind that few people want to pay for the priviledge of having less say about, and in most cases less power over, their own futures and employment. The only place unions thrive are in the public sector whoch itself is an obscene abuse.
