Tough Market for Union Organizers
* Once upon a time, low pay and no or few benefits were the automatic grist for a successful union organizing drive [“Nonunion-Market Trend Attacked,” Sept. 29].
But now, apparently, a union is whining because it can’t organize the employees of certain market companies who are thriving in areas where the unionized, big chain stores can’t make it.
So it turns to Democrat state legislators who can’t do anything about it, either, but make dribbling noises.
Next it will be whining about grocery sales over the Internet, which may really take away union jobs.
To succeed, a union must have something to sell, which, so far, these markets apparently have beyond just groceries.
