With Labor Day arriving and the Labor Department reporting hiring slowing, are unions a thing of the future?
When the Labor Department reported that 187,000 new jobs were created in August, it was a sign that hiring is slowing.
Dallas-based labor and employment lawyer Andy Trusevich says organized labor has gotten decidedly louder, in recent years, "The environment for workers is starting to look like back in the 70's." Union membership, across the board, grew by about 200,000, last year. The growth was fueled, in part, by growing pay disparities and technology, such as the issues that have had Hollywood writers and actors walking a picket line, for months, with no end in sight.
