But what about today? Are today's 'common men' better off thanks to unions? I'm not sure how you could say yes. Far fewer jobs, and if you are lucky enough to make it to retirement, you will never be able to rest easy that your pension is safe. The pension isn't safe, because even labor unions are governed by this one rule...you cannot have more than there is. It took them too long to accept that, and in the case of public unions going on strike rather trhan accepting a 15% raise and practically-free healthcare, they still haven't accepted it.
