Is Organized Labor a Decaying Business Model? (Paperback)

Is Organized Labor A Decaying Business Model?
The book examines the organized labor business model from the perspectives of the economic and political influences of organized labor, relative to the domestic and global economy.
The traditional organized labor business model, as we have known it over the past century, is not sustainable in it present form, and will become less relevant, irrelevant or extinct, unless major changes are made.
The nature of work has changed, and labor unions have failed to evolve with this change, just as dinosaurs became extinct because they failed to evolve with the climatic changes.
Union representation serves a very important business and economic function. Repressive employers create strong unions, because unions protect workers from abusive management.
The organized labor business model for growth is to unionize low-wage workers, such as immigrants, minorities, and females, in industries and locations with traditionally low union saturation.
Historically, labor unions have encouraged an adversarial (us versus them) approach to business operations.
The key to long-term survival, increased economic strength, and political power lies in the ability of organized labor to adapt to changes, become productive allies with business, and be part of the solution, not part of the problem.
To do less will result in a decayed organized labor business model creating its own irrelevance and going the way of the dinosaurs.
