The end of unions By Hugh Finnamore, Financial Post
Labour unions as we know them are fast dissolving. That's because union bosses have been swallowed by a dysfunctional system designed in the 1940s to tame worker radicalism. Over the decades, they have been co-opted into the role of business partners, and that has set the stage for a new form of workplace revolution -- an event few have put their minds to. The union fat cat has become irrelevant to his members and is of waning value to his corporate partners.------------------------------------------- posted 7:59 AM :: reference link ::
