The fix is in to dump health insurance and retirement on the employee. Unions will be the aggregators for both "now employee funded" benefits. It's part of the race to the lowest global common denominator for worker pay and benefits. It's also the key to union relevance in today's world. Although sorry management threatens to give unions another boost. This is Japanese Kabuki theater for the masses. The fix is in to dump health insurance and retirement on the employee.

Denying American's the right to form unions is contrary to the Bill of Rights which protects our right to assemble. I also find it ironic that business leaders who normally preach a hands-off, laissez faire approach to regulation actually support strong regulation with respect to unions. The hypocrisy is clear.
