This problem has been going on since WWII. I need to do some searching but this I can tell you:
My dad was a mining engineer, primarily gold. He worked all over the the northern aspects of Nevada and northern Ca in the 1930’s. He got a good job in the Philippine Islands, asked my mom to join him, they married and had two kids, one born just before the war in 1939 and another just before we were put into concentration camp in Santo Tomas about 4 years later. Three and half years later after internment we were liberated. He was never able to get another job as a mining engineer because he had to join a Union. He never carped or complained as far as I know about anything (not in front of us kids anyway ) but he had very bitter and harsh words for Unions which he never joined and never supported. The few times he talked about them, he sounded like he was living today. He knew the Unions are dictating every single aspect of their members lives. work and human life.
I wonder how one disarticulates a structure like the Unions?

That was beautiful.
That is quite an account of your father. Cannot imagine being imprisoned for four years by the Japs.
Thug unionism is very much alive. Learn as much as you can about Richard Trumka, head of the AFL-CIO for the last ten years.
“What’s good for the unions is what’s good for America!”
Yeah, right.
