  > When hasn't it won in the western world? In the US, post-WW2 until Reagan got elected.

    They still won just not as much as now.

      I agree, us non-capitalists took more of the cake back then.

        Unions in tech won't recreate the 1950s. The reason capital always wins is because it can be moved around more easily than specialized workers can change their skill set. If you extract more of the pie in one area then capital (and thus growth) will just move to a different areas. Could be different industries or companies in different countries. They still win while your occupation and growth in earnings stagnates.

  Whenever unions are strong. (Was that a rhetorical question?)
