Then maybe I should have said "anti union". As a concept, I cannot imagine why you would want unions to disappear. Unions are nothing more than bargaining groups for commodities. In this case the commodity is their labor. This is where folks like you have their arguments fall apart. You are generally all for any step that a business takes to protect itself and grow. But when workers do precisely the same thing, you have a problem. They are simply protecting the source of their profit. They are attempting to improve their bottom line through the use of collectively bargained wages and benefits, for which they sell their labor.

As to the decline, perhaps you are correct, but don't expect us to sit around and wait for that. We are developing and implementing new strategies daily. We are increasing our presence in labor groups around the world. We are focusing more on organizing.

As to why, it is simple. The incidents of work place injury is rising. The incidents of corporations taking advantage of poor workers is rising. And the capital is gathering in fewer and fewer hands as the gap between the richest and poorest widens. Workers increasingly are finding it harder and harder to survive on one job, or one wage earner.

So, if you don't mind, we will hang out a bit longer and see if we can't lend a little assistance.

Oh ........ yeah. Happy Fathers Day
