There's been a lot of expansion in industries that weren't unionized (like mine) in states where only a moron would try to unionize (like mine).

Also remember that I've pointed out many times that in the long run unions are generally bad for the workers. They sell down tomorrow for victories today, going on strike for more wages from companies they know can't afford it. So in the short term the workers get everything they want, but eventually the company does massive reductions or maybe even goes under and the workers takes it in the butt. The bill started coming due for unions in the late 70s, this is just another bump in that road.

When companies are doing the kinds of things we see them do nowadays and going under because of them, I see no reason why workers should have any faith that they will be here in the near future. Better to take what you can now than wait and let the management trolls take it all.
