Read [url= http://www.amazon.com/Which-Side-Ar...RPY5PZ0BQQ7Q8YW]Which Side Are You On[/url] for a labor lawyers perspective on how unions in America slowly committed suicide. Unions work well in many other places and were significant in America for awhile, but due to very specific historical conditions they're downright worthless for broader American society. Unions used to be able to do poo poo like fight for social security, healthcare, safety regulations, industry wide wage increases, and even influence foreign policy. The idea that an American union would make a serious attempt to participate in civil society is at least 25 years out of date. The SEIU might give a poo poo sometimes, but basically they get their members involved in campaigns in order to gain political influence for the leadership. Strangely enough, this influence doesn't lead to anything like "getting a card check law out of committee" or filling seats on the NLRB or fixing the corrupt mediation system, but it does lead to lucrative real estate deals and consulting gigs for the union leaders. No one knows why.
