They have to invent a new union. Quite simply, the old union model doesn’t take international competition, advances in technology and global markets into consideration.

Unions have to remain relevant to the industries in which they exist.

And yes, such a model exists (somewhat) in Japan.

And let’s be completely honest. All of the companies that are hailed as non-union here in the U.S. all have very strong unions in their home countries. Those firms wouldn’t dream of paying workers in their own countries what they pay U.S. citizens

I have a hard time thinking of what industries they are still in? I know they are big in govt, but in manufacturing?

All of the companies that are hailed as non-union here in the U.S. all have very strong unions in their home countries.

And which of their operations are the most profitable?

America became an economic juggernaut in part because of the opportunity to succeed. Fascism will end that.
