The Price Of Labor's Decline (washingtonpost.com)

David Broder opines that the shift to the right in American politics is a result of the decline in the unionization of the American labor force (from 1/4 of the labor force in the 1970's to barely 1/8 today). Today, Labor is no longer the political factor that it was even a decade or two ago, with severe consequences for wages and benefits, workplace safety, education, housing, and civil rights.

I look at it as a timely reminder that Thomas Geoghegan's is on my list of books to read.
