Union labor got bashed in the private sector. Lazy, overpaid, pensions, benefits, political party affiliation. This is a big reason automotive moved to southern states. And most supported it. Everyone complained about it. It got to the level of 6%.
However, labor rates across the country somewhat equalized which prompted companies to continue looking for cheaper labor offshore.
My comments thru op is I never experience the good ol days. Business is global, technology is shared, or copied - this is the world we live in. We moved from the original agriculture country to a world of manufacturing during the industrial revolution and in the 70s to a service economy. And it is going to change again with AI.
