Labor unions' future
Article Abstract:
Trade unions in the USA are facing opposition since they are believed to be obsolete and rigid and also because the union leaders are seen as power-seekers who are less interested in the welfare of the union members. The solution to this problem may be the election of a government sympathetic to the cause of the workers, improved public relations to get people's support in workers' issues and the workers themselves supporting globalization.

Labor unions' future: Anti-union climate
Article Abstract:
The Bush administration is considered to be one of the most anti-union in history since, besides rolling back important policies, the administration and Congress are trying to block an organizing strategy that unions have used in the past few years to recruit up to 550,000 new members. Striking Northwest Airlines mechanics that got little support from the labor community aptly illustrate organized labor's fragmentation.

Labor unions' future: Change to win
Article Abstract:
Dissatisfied union leaders who are concerned about declining memberships and lack of bargaining power in the government want Sweeney, the leader of the American Federation of Labor-Congress of Industrial Organization union to step down. They feel that unions in all plants of a particular industry must be merged so that bigger unions can be more powerful when dealing with the government.
