Each time there has been prosperity for tradesmen, it was brought about by unionism. Back in the day, there were the Masons. It became a brotherhood of workers who had the skill and training to make things out of stone. They limited their membership and were in solidarity regarding rates of pay and working conditions. Same as now.
