It is time for Congress to allow non-union employers and employees to work together to improve working conditions.
Abstract The U.S. labor market has barely improved since the recession officially ended two years ago. Nearly one in 10 workers remain unemployed, and job creation has stagnated. Archaic labor laws restrict employee involvement in the workplace while forcing many workers to support unions they oppose. Government-employee unions use their enormous political influence to maintain special privileges.
Congress should allow cooperative workplace programs for employers and employees to innovate and adapt to the modern economy.
