It’s Labor Day so let’s talk about why only 10% of American workers are in unions. Historian-at-Large Edward T. O’Donnell explains that unions did NOT “decline” or “shrink” over the last 70 years. They’ve been systematically weakened, crushed, and annihilated by policies adopted by politicians in Congress and state governments at the behest of corporate interests.
