Labor Relations

I found this interesting article about unions and where the author feels the unions are headed. The author of the article titled "The Future of Labor Relations: It's Not About the Unions", thinks that unions may not be completely on the way out but they seem to be working that way. He thinks that the unions are not looking like they are ready to change enough to move with the times. It is interesting to see that there are others that think there is more being done on the side of the unions. This is evident by some of the comments made after the article was posted. 

It is obvious that there will always be a pro union side and a non union side. I believe that while unions can definitely serve a great purpose, as with all groups, they can become to powerful. When any one individual or group holds to much power in an organization it can become a large issue. This goes back to the reason why our founding fathers created the concept of checks and balances to try and avoid this type of issue from becoming a huge problem.
