Still are. What do you think is stopping companies from going back to the work rules/pay of the '20's & '30's?
No they're not.

Funny, lots of places forcing people to work 6 ten/twelve hour days. Don't like it, quit.
Most state labor laws are worded in favor of the employer too.

Perhaps but I don't think there is proof one way or the other.
I think over time the mission of Unions and how they are perceived has changed. I had the pleasure of working as a manger who interacted with the flight attendant union.
I think unions are becoming more interested in their own well being as opposed to the well being of their members or the company that their employees work for. The unions on AA 's property seemed be primarily interested in recovering their lost wages. That's all fine and dandy but the company is losing money and to be kind, that seems a bit unrealistic. The APFA protected employees who should not have been protected. Unions in my opinion allow workers who are lazy and incompetent to flourish.
On the other side of the track you have incompetent management. The goal seems to be to make the most money they can for them selves and the state holders while screwing the workers.
I think if unions would focus more on making things equal they might have more support. For instances, had the AA unions negotiated a contract that tied their wages and managements wages to profitability they would be more credible. If exec get bonuses so do the employees. If the employees take a 10% cut then so do the execs.
Perhaps hold employees responsible for their actions. Novel idea but it could work.
As far as I am concerned unions and management deserve each other. They have both lost their way and the employees get lost in the shuffle because neither of them actually give a rats ass about theire well being. Yes their are exceptions but I think they are few and far between.

I don't think it's novel at all- I think "policing our own" is essential. After all, if you want to be treated like a professional, you should act like one.

Ok, "Kettle", you got me............Unlike the Libtards when Bush won a re-election
I remember many wanted to run to Canada. Ain't that right, Pot?
Some of our lefty crybabies that actually wanted to leave the U.S. are smart enough to realize that the Canadian political system is "left leaning."
Compared to some of your righty crybabies, the ones who wrap themselves in "Old Glory" then want to cut and run to ............. WTF?...........Australia????
A "left leaning" country where the Australian Prime Minister is Julia Gillard, an atheist who lives with a man she hasn't married and has:
Universal healthcare system
Compulsary voting
No Guns
No Death Penalty
No dual citizenship allowed.
But the weather is nice!
