Last Friday, workers in a Volkswagen plant in Tennessee rejected a vote to unionize. The United Auto Workers vote had far greater implications then just for the plant. It was a sign of the further erosion of the US labor movement.

In 1983, 20% of all workers were represented by unions. Today, representation is 11% and heading south.

Many feel that unions are combative and potentially damaging to the goal of cooperation between labor and management. The fact of the matter is, conditions that led to the labor movement have evaporated over the past 30 years, leaving the unions scrambling to maintain their role within labor.
