When union representation was highest, was unemployment lowest? Now unemployment is high and union representation is low. Or do I have that backwards?
Is this right or wrong? Why do you feel that way?
When I was a young boy, things seemed to be going pretty good and union membership was higher than now. Or, am I mistaken about that?

One more time. union membership and high employment existed in the last forties to early sixties. This golden period existed because the US was the last man standing after WWII. Only our factories escaped almost total destruction, plus our workforce was not extremely decimated. Unions had as much to do with this as wet sidewalks causing rain.
Unions were an answer to the old command and control business management system which no longer exists, Union membership begin to decline when workers realized they were no longer getting their money's worth.
