Re: Big strike at GM
Although I'm not that familiar with labor laws, I'm pretty sure that there is a "decertification" process whereby a factory's workers can dump the union. The point is, that the threat of unionization rings hollow if labor laws are moved toward the corporate position. Given declining union enrollment, other workers won't have the choice of unionization. We'll see how high the wages in the Japanese factories are then.
Also, from the first sentence of the mission statement for the National Institute of Labor Relations:
"Over the past two decades, the National Institute for Labor Relations Research (NILRR) has documented the harm inflicted on workers and society by compulsory unionism."
Sounds kind of shilly.
