Mort Zuckerman, the billionaire "limosine conservative" of the McLaughlin group, actually gave the most cogent reason for the decline of labor: automation
John Sweeney and his lot think that preserving the jobs of the industrial labor unions will stop the bleeding, but face it, those sub-high school/9-5/$30-bucks-an-hour industrial jobs are dead, and what healthy manufacturing remains are nonunionized car assembly plants and such in the South.
The new labor will draw its recruits entirely from the service sector and the federal government within a decade or so. Which will be just in time for the GOP to institute a new rule limiting service unionization in the manner of the Taft-Hartley Act of 1947
