Union density is but one index of the workers' collective power. Other ones are employment rates, wage rates, working conditions, living conditions, etc. I imagine that, under Clinton, the inertia of union decay (as well as income, etc. variation within the class) continued, but improvements in other areas compensated somehow. Taking all that into account, it's still not entirely clear that the union's insistence in supporting the DP in presidential elections is a foolish waste of their resources. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
