Disorganized Labor

American unions' problem isn't politics--it's workers' lack of confidence in them.

Pollster John Zogby gives us his take on where unions stand today. Now I am not a big fan of opinion polls and I have said so more than once. But it remains a fact that unions just don't have the numbers they once did. And from personal experience I think it is safe to say that younger workers just don't see union membership in the same light as older generations did. Today's workforce is a lot more individualistic and certainly more mobile than in days past. And both of those play against the union mindset.
