PETER MORICI
(Peter George Morici, Jr.)
Almost all unions generally support the Democratic Party and labor is generally unified behind the Democrats. However, whenever union solidarity is breached and one or two major labor unions support the Republicans they almost always win.
With the large number of jobs that are going overseas, and the increasing productivity, the economics of the late 20th century and early 21st century made job security an anachronism. Therefore the unions were weakened.
