In the US this may well be true, I don't know. In the UK however this is not so. Granted, in the 70s
the unions were hugely powerful (witness the miners receiving 40% pay rises and being unsatisfied,
sympathy strikes bringing the country to it's knees in the winter of 1978) and now they are much
weaker. But the oil tanker strikes across Europe (most recently in the UK) along with other pay
disputes (Policemen this year, firemen a few years ago) shows that the unions are far from dead.
Remember, the US is probably the most right-wing country in the western world. |
