The government and the free trade act. Company's can get parts made and shipped back for less money than pay an American worker. There out to brake up the unions AND WE ARE LETTING THEM. I remember as a child,my dad wouldn't let anything in the house, unless it had a union seal. And at 59yrs old I feel the same way but it just don't work that way anymore. |

There is an argument to suggest that Trade Unions (TU) are losing power in the UK for a number of reasons.
The industry that TUs are usually associated with is in decline. The Conservative Government, in favour of the employer, reduced the power of the Unions by restricting their power with the abolishment of Closed shop agreements. The Labour Govenrment, in favour of the employee, has not reversed this legisation as such, but has introduced a lot of legislation to favour the employee. In addition to this, entry in Europe has increased legislation with the introduction of Family Friendly policies (Maternity, Paternity, adoption, flexible working etc ) and National Minimum Wage etc.
In short, the argument is that because of the introduction of legislation to protect workers in the workplace, is there any need for a Union? There have even been laws now to restrict/limit the power of a TU when involved with labour disputes - people can now only picket places they work. |

Here in the USA, several things happened:
1. The unions had much of their power from their association with the Mafia. Sorry, but the Jimmy Hoffa story makes that undeniable. When the government crippled the Mafia, they crippled the ability of the union to scare people.
2. The public tired of unions. By the late 1970's, it was obvious that the big powerful unions were pushing for wages and rules that were unrealistic. Worse yet, crippling strikes by key unions had left most people angry with unions -- in my town, the fire dept struck and we lost half of downtown! Reagan sensed that when he fired the PATCO workers, and when the public actually approved of Reagan's actions then the die was cast.
3. The companies that hired unions went out of business, or had their market share curtailed. There used to be a "big 4" auto makers, and that is now "big 2" and their market share is in serious decline. Penn Central went bankrupt. Most of the US rubber companies were bought out by foreign interestes. USS got bought out by USX, which barely survived cheap Asian steel.
4. Quite frankly, unions warp the workings of capitalism. The forces of capitalism are very powerful, and resisting those forces is like resisting gravity. |

Why do you think Thatcher wanted everyone to own their own homes? So they would have so much debt they wouldn't be able to strike! |

Because of the lack of support....eveyones so scared of being sacked that they won't protest.
Personally I think that unions are corrupt and act in their own interest more than that of the workers |
