Why do trade unions have declining membership?
Many people have watched/listened to too much talk radio. Right to Work? Bull. Right to pay substandard wages. The federal Gov’t has stripped unions of power. The NLRB has not stuck up for workers rights. Safety standards are being eroded. Union busting, a Federal crime, is alive and well. Unions have declining membership because non-union businesses pay a wage that approaches union scale in order to attempt to keep people from organizing, and then they illegally reprimand, scare, fire, and suppress would be organizers. Corporations have the power. They pay the lobbyists, they donate the most to politicians, and they have crippled the unions to pad their pockets. When they are gone, we will all be in big trouble. The US will look like China or Mexico. Mark my words!
