Unions were critical in first helping level the playing field between labor and management in the early 20th century. This balance collapsed when management became interested only in their own wealth and power and in supporting political candidates who would increase that wealth and power. Then, with the advent of the world economy, American unions became destructive by crippling American business’ ability to compete beyond our borders. Further, since most new jobs in the US are information-based, non-government workers don’t see any benefit to union membership, esp. as the unions support ever more far-Left politicians. Unions survive as unofficial subsidiaries of the Democrat National Committee, supported 90 - 10 by government and college workers, the two least productive groups in the US.

The real shift if Fioretti winning in the 2nd. Aldermen tend to “control” what happens inside their own ward. Fioretti in the loop/southloop area will have the most control of any alderman in the fastest growing area, and in development for the Olympics. He has come from “no where” to where he could be the 2d most powerful person.
