I think that's yesterday's issue. Unions have lost a lot of power (at least in the private sector). Wages have been flat for over a decade. Pensions have nearly disappeared. Benefit and health care cost have been pushed back to the worker.
At the same time, CEOs and top executives continue to prosper (compensation equivalent to 300 workers), and Corporations gladly take taxpayer subsides and handouts.
