unions were born in corruption.unions have become more corrupt and are contributing to their own demiseAmericans have been indoctrinated against labor solidarity by a bunch of arch-capitalists conflating labor organizing with communism.
Its a different world than it was decades ago.
Big Labor used to be able to send a couple of thugs into a store and shake down the merchant and the employees to force them to accept unionism and pony up dues.
Nowadays, it just isn't that easy. Even if the union can intimidate the company like they did with VW in Chattanooga, the people just aren't going to accept it in an election. That's why the Left wants to go to "Card Check" and do away with representation elections.
That's what strong arm tactic are
Now unions have to prove they are going to provide more value to employees than their employers do and unions are rea;izing that's much harder than intimidation and breaking a few arms to get people to join
When someone owns a small bar, and the local bartenders union sends over a couple of business agents to collect dues, there really wasn't anything a businessman could do except to pay up.
When Applebees or Hooters or another huge outfit owns the joint its a lot more problematic
