Grocery shopping (& Consumer Reports)

My superficial understanding of it is that's how unionism started. What's soured the whole thing has been the monopolistic rules unions operate under -- laws having been passed to set up this monopoly. Unions have now so largely priced themselves out of the labor market, especially in the manufacturing sector, that they are withering. They had driven the cost of employment and production too high, and the labor market corrected the situation. The only growth sector of unionism is government employees -- the SEIU.
