Economic pressure will revive labor movement
There is a compelling case that the National Labor Relations Act's stated purpose, to reduce economic disruption by imposing collective bargaining, has wildly succeeded over the last 75 years. Succeeded so much that unions are considered increasingly irrelevant to many workers. This post calls for a return to active use of labor's economic weapons, the strike, in particular, as well as other acts like secondary boycotts which are expressly circumscribed by the NLRA. The poster suggests unions should engage in establishing new legal identities to shield them from liability, not unlike many businesses do. Interesting and provocative analysis.
