Or threaten to do so? What bargaining tool do they have? That's what has always made unions so...important and threatening...now, according to this, unions are just a go between for management and floor staff and working together. I say with good management the union is still not needed. Thanks Holly, I will further look into this. SO these new unions won’t strike? Or threaten to do so? What bargaining tool do they have?

That aren't into rules and laws and workplace silliness- but prefer to include management in decisions and planning. It sounds much better than the old fashioned union. Kim I bet even you could get into this! Patti I was reading the Boston Globe and this article might interest you, and Kim:

They do have back their right to worker comp insurance- which is law. So much for the unions helping.
