Let's be honest, though, the single biggest weakening function is the general decline in value of labour. People with low paying jobs simply can't afford to strike. The other side can just wait them out until they start to starve. It'll only take a few days.
There is good reason why unions remain strong in high paying professions, but nowhere else. Those in high paying professions generally have much greater access to resources to maintain a strike for months or even years.
- derelicta 3y agoThere have been studies conducted on this phenomenon. Unions apparent weakening are also due to the way our economy has changed. Big production centres went through a phase of either decentralisation, or delocalisation. The former having for consequence that it's way harder to organise many smaller independent and geographically distributed locations than one big factory.
