    ZNet - Is Labor on the Edge of a New Upsurge? By Dan Clawson Labor Notes
    Most of the labor movement's focus has been on the need to put more resources into organizing, but if the labor movement doubled the number of people it organized each year, and kept that up till 2036, it wouldn't bring back the power. It would leave labor's numbers (in percentage terms) right where they were in 1983, after Reagan wiped out PATCO, at a shade over 20% of the labor force.
