BS.

The Trade Unions only have 14% of workers in private industry. You are proposing that this miniscule slice is dragging costs out of control?

About 20 years ago, it became clear to most Union leadership (not all, I grant you) that cost of labor was getting out of hand. In other words, the AFL-CIO actually reads the newspaper.

Two things occurred: a significant shift of organizing resources toward Gummint and social-service employees (quite successful) and a re-shaping of negotiating policy towards 'cooperation' in industrial bargaining.

This re-shaping has been somewhat (not perfectly) helpful.
