The dynamic nature of the economy doesn't lend itself to the labor unions having much success these days in the private sector. Keating disputes that the sudden rise in membership numbers is evidence of a labor resurgence. More recent statistics also show a decline, albeit a smaller one. I think that's all to the benefit of the economy and business owners, and to the detriment of labor unions. Maybe so, but employers should not count them out just yet.
Unions still have a great deal of influence in Washington.
Just imagine the strength they could gain among small business employees if the economy sours. Inc. Privacy Statement and Legal Notices Reproduction or unauthorized use of this material is prohibited.
