In this excellent article Professor Thomas DiLorenzo discusses the violent nature of labor unions. Very good reading. DiLorenzo shows that union “success” usually is short-lived and comes at the expense of other workers. The only point he omits is that federal labor law facilitates union power to forcing employers to “negotiate in good faith” with union representatives. No where else in American law is anyone forced to negotiate with another private party. If we repealed our authoritarian and (in my view) unconstitutional federal labor laws, what’s left of organized labor in the private sector would quickly wither and die.
