Question

Unions have been getting significantly stronger in the past decades.
a. True
b. False

Answer 1

This statement is false. Labor unions have gotten smaller when compared to their peak membership times in the 1950s. They do remain a big factor when it comes to politics in the United States, they are mobilized well and through dues and coalitions can organize around important issues like trade policy, immigrant rights, living wage campaigns, and health care.

Answer 2

The statement given above is FALSE.
In the United States, National labour union formation began earnestly after the civil war but most of these unions become non functional as a result of lack of organization, discords over union goals, lack of effective leadership, opposition from employers and the government. In the past decades, the number of employees that are members of unions have significantly decrease, this is especially true for private companies.
