I would agree with that.
It had been my impression at the time that something would be done.
If unions are the problem here, it sure puts on display the evil nature of unions.
In the western European countries, it isn’t actual “unions”; the labor laws are such that most workers are protected with similar arrangements by the GOVERNMENT. That is what screws up employment in those places; when you hire someone, they have a lot of protections and can really screw an employer.
